Sunday Sketch: Snow Leopard

Snow leopards (Panthera uncia) reside in the mountains of Eastern Asia, through countries including Mongolia, Tibet, Siberia, India and more! Their distinctive white coat with black spots makes them very recognizable among large felines. As adults, they usually live alone but form groups during the breeding season. Breeding typically occurs in the late winter, with a pregnancy of about 100 days.
