Gilgit Baltistan Snow Leopard
Snow leopards live throughout the mountainous regions of Central Asia in Pakistan is found in the northern mountain rang in Gilgit Baltistan.
Snow leopards have been seen at altitudes as high as 18,000 feet (6,000 meters) in the summer time.
It is estimated that there are only approximately 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards left in the wild today. It is difficult to obtain more conclusive numbers as snow leopards are so elusive and inhabit very harsh and remote habitat, which means they are rarely seen.
Snow leopards are medium sized cats, which weigh between 60-120 pounds.
Snow leopard body length ranges from 39-51 inches and they have thick, smoky-grey patterned fur with dark grey open rosettes. Their markings help them to blend in perfectly with their rocky surroundings.
