- Protected habitat blocks within central and South Asian mountain systems from the Himalaya to Mongolia.
Tips spotting

- Slow down and scan shapes, outlines, and eye-level silhouettes; many good sightings come from noticing what does not move.

Specialized Hardware
Wide snow-ready paws, balancing tail mass, dense insulation, and stealth-oriented build make snow leopards elite vertical ambush hardware for broken cold terrain.
