Snow Leopard
Snow leopards live primarily in the mountains of Central Asia. They stay warm with a coat of thick fur and use their long, thick tails as blankets, which they drape over their bodies for extra warmth. Their wide, furry paws and powerful legs help them travel through thick snow, while their stocky body helps retain heat.
