There are so many reasons that snow leopards are going extinct. The first reason is that the bones, flesh, and fur, and organs of large cats are beneficial in traditional Asian medicine. Humans are the second reason that they are going extinct we have pushed even further with our livestock into the snow leopards territory. Snow leopards prefer to inhabit rocky outcrops and ravines, and steep cliff areas. They use their surroundings to their situation and use it for camouflage when they hunt for their food. on the subject of food, snow leopards will eat goats, sheep, pika, and hares. Did you know that the paws of the snow leopard are flawlessly adapted to climbing through the rocky region that covers many of the mountain terrain that
With the extinction of many animals and the changing environment due to human activities, conservation methods should be put into action to save the earth and its residents. With so many negative things happening to the environment it is possible that the earth and its resources could run out in the next few generations. One species, the mountain gorillas, contribute greatly to the well being of the earth and needs to be saved. Being the destroyers of the earth, I believe that it our duty to find a way repent for our negligence to our neighbors and environment.
Small black forms scramble when you open the doors to the barn scattering into holes in the walls to escape the harsh light they are unaccustomed to. If you get the chance to see one its small beady red eyes glare up at you and its sharp yellow teeth scream filth. Disease is a common notation when used with them. They’ve even become the face of a worldwide epidemic back in the Middle ages. Rats. Disgusting, evil, mean, and dirty little beings that make messes and are too stupid to escape the trap of a life of fear.
Throughout my childhood when everyone saw a bald eagle, they would be awe in. People always said something like, “Wow that’s an amazing sight. There aren’t too many of those in the US anymore.” I’ve always wondered why this is. It wasn’t until recently that my interest in bald eagles was re-introduced. About a few weeks ago during lacrosse practice, a bald eagle was soaring above Sodexo Field. My coach goes, “Aren’t there only like 20 of those left?.” At the time I knew that bald eagles were taken of the Endangered Species List, but that’s all I knew. I figured this would be a good project to research and get the full history of bald eagles.
The deeper I dig into animal abuse , the more I want to become a vegetarian. But it is not easy as it seems. The things that I have seen and read makes me sick to my stomach. To watch a hopeless cow, get whipped , is sickening. Watching baby Chicklets die in a big machine , brings tears to my eyes. Millions of animals every day die cruel deaths , and I no longer want to be an accomplice to the crimes. While it may be hard to retrain myself , I should and intend to just stop eating meat.
Wolverines relationship with snow is essential as they have adapted to the northern conditions, using it to their advantage. First of all, wolverines have large ‘snowshoe’ like feet
Another example of an infectious disease is feline leukemia which was caused by a retrovirus that enters cells and affects the immune system in cats. There are different variations of symptoms that can show that a feline is infected with FeLV: lymphosarcoma, affected blood cells resulting in nonregenerative anemia and immunosuppression which leaves the feline open to other bacterial infections. It is highly contagious amongst felines through personal contact such as grooming and can be passed from the mother to the offspring while in the womb but is not zoonotic. It also can be spread through blood and so blood being used for transfusions should be tested. Diagnostic testing would be to use a snap test using the cat’s blood. Additional blood tests are also available to test for FeLV. Once diagnosed, depending how affected the cat is, will determine the veterinarian’s course of treatment which is usually medications. Vaccines are used to help prevent the disease but isn’t 100% effective. Before getting the vaccine, the cat should be tested to see if it was vaccine-induced or actually the disease. This is because administration of a vaccine can give a false positive to
Snow leopard Extinction [Intro paragraph] Everyone likes big cats who can jump 9 meters high (30 ft), run as fast as the speed limit, and be as sneaky as a ghost. Well if that’s you, and I know it, is you better read this because they their population is decreasing rapidly and we need your help to stop it. Although the money, pelts, sights, and medicine is good, losing snow leopards for good is not worth it because it is skyrocketing herbivore population, illegal to kill them, and down right disappointing.
I saw that the lynx wasn’t moving, and almost shouted with joy when a knife was thrown at the snow leopard, pulling his armor off with it. The hooks in the armor also made him an easy target for throwing knives.

Endangered species can change a habitat due to their role in the environment. The EPA helps protect these endangered species with the help of National and State Parks in the United States. Each endangered species has different factors of why it is becoming endangered. Endangered species are sometimes caused by their loss of habitat. Reasons for the endangerment of a species can vary greatly from their loss of habitat to high genetic vulnerability to invasive species. Rapid climate change contributes to the endangerment of many arctic wildlife. The Endangered Species Act and the Endangered Protection Agency protects endangered and threatened species.
1.7 million animals have been sent across country borders (to be animal trophies) for the past 10 years. An animal trophy is when an animal is stuffed and kept as a prize. Gross huh? And American hunters are the largest group of people that kill animals for animal trophies, with Germany and spain next. Also,the number of lions have TRIPLED in 10 years! 1,500 lions are shot each year. Elephants hunted have doubled in ten years for 1,600 killed in a year. “More than 10,000 elephants were killed in the last 10 years. The same number of leopards were killed, and more than 8,000 lions were killed at the same time.
Because of their slender and fit physics, the snow leopard is a very flexible and strong animal, with very high stamina. It has been documented that they are capable of jumping over 9 meters. As mentioned in the introduction the Pantera Uncia does not roar, the reason for this is of their small vocal chords that makes them unable to produce that powerful sound like other large carnivore cats. Nevertheless, do not think that they are not feared as the others. This animal does not make a sound, absolute silence, like the moment before the storm hits. With its slender physic and small voice Pantera Uncia is the ultimate hunter. Its prey will not see it coming before it is too late. Snow leopards may not seem as strong cats, but do not let this fool you, their prey usually consist of animals three times larger then
First, I am going to tell you about the appearance. Did you know that the snow leopards have thick hair and wide, fur covered feet. Their tails help them balance when they are climbing mountains. The snow leopards height can range from 55-65 cm. (22-26 in.), their length can range from 90-115 cm. (36-44 in.), and their tails can be 100 cm. (40 in.).

An endangered species is “any species… that is at risk of extinction because of the sudden rapid decrease in its population or loss of its habitat” (Dublin, par. 1). An animal that falls under this category is the “Panthera Uncia” (Dublin, par. 1) –more commonly known as the snow leopard. This animal is seen as a threat to many people in Central Asia –the natural habitat of the leopard. However, the conclusion is inaccurate. The snow leopard is a rare creature that is hardly seen by humans. This animal is insulated by thick fur and has tremendous paws that act like snow shoes. Snow leopards have powerful legs that allow them to jump up to at least fifty feet. Along with their unique body style, they have a long tail that helps keep
