Snow Leopard

In the "fierce animals" section we find the snow leopard, a big cat from Central Asia. Like all cats, it is a true carnivore and feeds on prey that can be 2-4 times its own size, like horses and camels. As its name suggests, it is capable of surviving in harsh snowy winter conditions, where other animals would struggle and make easy prey.
