Snow Leopard ( $120 )

8) Snow leopards (Panthera uncia) live in the high mountains of Central Asia from Afghanistan to China, and from Russia to Bhutan, and it is thought that between 3,500 – 7,000 remain in the wild. More precise estimates are difficult with such a cryptic animal. They are well adapted to their harsh environment with thick fur, small ears, big furry feet for walking on snow, and a very long tail used for balance and like a blanket.
