Решение:

The snow leopard or irbis is one of the most beautiful representatives of predators, which chose mountains as its natural habitat.

In appearance, the snow leopard is very similar to the Far Eastern leopard. However, the main difference lies in the fur — in the snow leopard, it is longer and softer. The tail is also quite long — almost like a torso. The color of the fur is brownish-gray, with ring-shaped spots all over the back. The length of the snow leopard is about 170 centimeters, and the weight ranges from 50-70 kilograms.

The snow leopard does not change its color, depending on the territory of residence, unlike other predators. However, some scientists state that there are several subspecies, which are distinguished by the shade of the fur and the size. But, there is still no exact data on this matter.

The snow leopard arranges a den in caves, rock crevices and similar places. It should be noted that the animal leads a rather distant way of life, although the females raise and take care of their children for a long time. Up to three females can live on the territory of one male at the same time, and this number is considered optimal. At the moment, this proportion, unfortunately, is not observed.
