Chi è il leopardo delle nevi: dove vive e perché è così raro vedere il “fantasma delle montagne”

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is a feline also known as the “ghost of the mountains” for its ability to camouflage itself in the snow. It lives in the mountains, at over 5,000 meters above sea level, and is a highly skilled predator. But how does it survive at very low temperatures and why is it so rare to see one?
