Snow leopards were discovered for the first time in Haidong, Qinghai Province. What kind of animals are snow leopards?

Snow leopards are large cat carnivores. As the name suggests, they are named snow leopards because they live near the cold snow line and have snow-like fur on their bodies, dotted with silver gray or black circles. What impressed me deeply was the snow leopard’s thick and long tail and huge plush flesh pads. The fur on its paws trembled as it walked, making it look very cute.

This kind of big cat has lived in the snowy mountains for a long time and is also called the "King of the Snowy Mountains". Due to the illegal hunting of snow leopards for their gorgeous fur, coupled with the deterioration of the natural environment such as global warming, the number of snow leopards has been declining sharply. Although snow leopard cubs have been successfully bred in Beijing in the last century, they are unable to make ends meet. In the country, snow leopards The number is even rarer than our national treasure panda. Nearly 60% of the world's snow leopards live in China, which reminds people all the time that the task of protecting this snow elf is urgent. Therefore, snow leopard rescue plans have been actively carried out at home and abroad to improve the living environment of snow leopards and strengthen the control of illegal hunting. It can be said that hard work pays off and the actions of animal protectors have not been in vain. In recent years, snow leopards have been discovered in different areas one after another. As of 2018, the number of snow leopards in the Sanjiangyuan area, where snow leopards are most concentrated, is estimated to exceed 1,000.

These short, chubby big cats look stupid, and their whole bodies are furry and round, making you want to hug them. However, underneath the cute appearance is a ruthless killer. They are calm and independent, do not live in groups, travel alone in the snow and night, and do not socialize too much with other similar people. Therefore, there is also a mountain ghost ?'s title. But the calls of this ruthless killer are not majestic. The sounds they make are incompatible with their body size. Meow? Purrul?. When I heard the voice in the documentary, I couldn't help laughing.

I hope that this mysterious and proud animal can live better in the snow-covered mountains. For this reason, people should take more practical actions to promote environmental protection and energy conservation, try to slow down the pace of global warming, and provide a better environment for the world. More rare creatures strive for survival homes.
