snow leopards are one of the world's

00:00:04

most elusive cats

00:00:06

nicknamed ghosts of the mountains they

00:00:09

live in the world's highest ranges

00:00:11

and are one of the least understood

00:00:13

felines

00:00:16

snow leopards inhabit the highest

00:00:18

altitude documented of any cat

00:00:22

their habitat includes the highest

00:00:24

mountain ranges across central asia with

00:00:26

altitudes up to 20 000 feet

00:00:30

snow leopards have adapted to thrive in

00:00:32

these extremely high elevations where

00:00:35

the air has low levels of oxygen

00:00:39

they've developed wide nasal passages

00:00:41

and large chest cavities that increase

00:00:44

the volume of air breathed in

00:00:46

and they have smaller and more numerous

00:00:49

red blood cells than typical cats

00:00:51

maximizing the amount of oxygen absorbed

00:00:54

by the body

00:00:57

snow leopards can endure temperatures as

00:01:00

low as negative 40 degrees fahrenheit

00:01:04

to keep warm in this inhospitable

00:01:06

climate snow leopards have the densest

00:01:08

fur of all cats with nearly 26 000 hairs

00:01:12

per square inch

00:01:15

a human only has about 1

00:01:18

300 per square inch

00:01:21

snow leopards also have giant paws that

00:01:24

act as snowshoes distributing their

00:01:26

weight so they can walk on top of snow

00:01:28

instead of sinking in

00:01:31

to stay warm while they rest snow

00:01:34

leopards wrap their furry tails around

00:01:36

their bodies like a blanket

00:01:40

snow leopard tails are balancing tools

00:01:43

the snow leopard tail is one of the

00:01:45

thickest and longest tails of all big

00:01:48

cats it can grow up to 90

00:01:50

as long as their bodies

00:01:53

the long tail acts as a counterweight

00:01:55

similar to a tightrope walker's

00:01:57

balancing bar

00:02:00

this helps snow leopards to hunt agile

00:02:02

wild sheep and goats in steep rugged

00:02:05

environments

00:02:08

it helps them balance and quickly pivot

00:02:10

as they chase nimble prey

00:02:16

snow leopards can leap farther than any

00:02:19

other animal

00:02:21

snow leopards can grow to seven feet

00:02:23

long including their tail

00:02:27

thanks to strong legs they can leap

00:02:29

distances up to 50 feet

00:02:32

that's seven times their own length

00:02:36

snow leopard's front legs are shorter

00:02:38

than their hind legs

00:02:40

helpful for quick starts and rapid

00:02:42

speeds

00:02:43

their broad muscular chests are like

00:02:45

shock absorbers dampening the impact of

00:02:48

nearly vertical hunts

00:02:52

snow leopards are vulnerable to

00:02:54

extinction

00:02:56

by some estimates there could be fewer

00:02:59

than 8 000 wild snow leopards

00:03:03

climate change might impact their

00:03:04

habitat reducing the big cats range and

00:03:07

food sources

00:03:09

increased ranching and herding has

00:03:11

caused the decline in wild prey

00:03:13

and conflict between snow leopards and

00:03:15

humans has developed when wild prey is

00:03:18

scarce snow leopards prey on domestic

00:03:21

livestock

00:03:22

this causes herders to lose income and

00:03:25

some then kill the cats in retaliation

00:03:30

community-based conservation efforts

00:03:32

have focused on reducing this conflict

00:03:35

creating greater understanding and

00:03:36

protection of these mountain ghosts is

00:03:39

needed to prevent them from disappearing

00:03:41

entirely
