I just realized this tai lung from kung fu panda was a snow leopard. It all makes sense now wide chest, grayish fur coat, huge fluffy tails.

"Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!!"

[Faizanx]

Such a gorgeous cat, honestly.

I really hope they don’t go extinct..

[FretMan]

Here's two other facts:
1) Despite their name, Snow Leopards are more of a sister relative to tigers than to leopards.
2) Unlike other big cats, like lions and tigers, Snow Leopards cannot roar ever, due to lacking a specific larynx formation.

most beautiful kind of wild cat in my opinion <3

Do what ever necessary to protect them but don't teach them kungfu ...

Goal: Be as mysterious & powerful as a snow leopard.
Current State: A lazy, moody house cat.

That’s a beautiful creature built to survive in inhospitable areas.

“Shifu taught you pretty well, but he hasn’t taught you everything”

[riddlezastra]

The mechanics of the tail is beautiful, especially how they balance their tails while running at full speed down an incredibly steep surface.

[renaldoking]

The snow leopards are so beautiful as the master cats in the snow of Asia.

[jorelldye]

I'm so grateful for the footage of these beautiful creatures. May they never go extinct.

The way their tails curl when they walk is so cute

[AzlianaLyana]

That's one fluffy killing machine. Really impressive skill on the mountain chases (preys are impressive too, though not enough to outrun). Nice one NG.

[Dr_Gillette]

She forgot to mention that they're amazing at Kung Fu.
