Even though they are spread far and wide over Asia, they are still a very endangered species. In places like Uzbekistan, there are as few as 20-50 Snow Leopards left throughout the whole country. Snow leopards cover 2 million square kilometers, <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">that is roughly the size of Greenland or Mexico, but spread across the 12 different countries. China contains <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">roughly 60% of Snow Leopard habitat. The cats have already disappeared from some areas that they used to live, such as other parts of Mongolia.

== <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Snow Leopards are gorgeous creatures that are very well suited for the environment in which they live in. Many parts of their body specialize in helping the Snow Leopard to be able to live in the particularly cold, rugged mountains in which they chose to live. The picture below shows circles and rectangles indicating specific parts of the cat’s body that are helpful adaptations, so that the snow leopard can thrive in its environment. The selected components of the body are explained below in detail. A Snow Leopards fur coloring acts as a disguise. The furs colors and spotted pattern help blend the snow leopard into it’s environment, allowing them to escape being seen by humans and better to stalk prey. ==
