Habitat

Snow Leopards are native to the rugged and remote mountain ranges of Central Asia. They prefer the mountain regions of the sub-alpine zone in the winter, moving to the meadows and rocky areas of the alpine zone during the summer months. They live on mountain steppes, crags, ridges, and coniferous forest scrub at high altitudes above tree line, from 5900-18000 feet. 

Snow Leopards love the rocks and cliffs of their habitat because it provides them with good cover when hunting prey.
