what an awsome cat.
did you know that it also uses its long tail as a blanket to cover its face when they sleep on cold nights?

haha for all you people who say proudly that you have snow leopard on your macs: Apple never thought that through very well did they? Let’s name our OS after a cat that is going extinct! haha

@228Ghost228 jaguars are not the same. you mean leopards and panthers are the same. several cats are called panther. leopard/panthers are not all black. a black leopard is often called black panther but a panther-leopard doesn’t have to be black – can be normally pigmented.

@dimusik01 That’s your opinion. Of course Atheists tend to be very arrogant and mean spirited in defending their opinions.

@ferch0o0 I suggest you look up “begging the question” (who), “abiogenesis” (how), as well as, “big bang”, “fusion”, “chemistry”, and, “emergence” (molecules and matter). We’re living in the information age; it shouldn’t be difficult to find answers to these questions.

@EpicHawk Bunch of crap? Why else would it have white fur to camoflauge into the snow? Why else would it have canine teeth to tear meat from prey? Why else would it have pads on its paws to be stealthy so it can hunt? God snapped his magical fingers and it all happened right?

How could anyone shoot such a beautiful animal as a snow leopard. In my personal opinion, I’d rather shoot a human before an innocent animal!
