Ever wary, this leopard pauses for a drink while guarding her cub and her treed kill from pestering hyaenas. I looked up the GPS location in the Lightroom Map module and this happens to be in an area called "Leopard Gorge" (Maasai Mara, Kenya). How appropriate. From my 2012 Kenya safari.

The scientific name of the snow leopard is Uncia uncia, and is the state animal of Himachal Pradesh, a north Indian state in the western Himalayas. The Snow leopard is also the National Heritage Animal of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Snow leopards are slightly smaller than the other big cats. They are stocky cats with relatively short legs, they have a short body but the tail is quite long. Their fur is long and think and is a smoky gray with tan patches.They have dark grey to black open rosettes with small spots on their heads and larger spots on their legs and tails. Their eyes are pale green or grey in color. Their paws are wide, to distribute their weight for walking on snow, and have fur on their undersides to increase their grip on steep and unstable surfaces, which is important in the rocky terrain they inhabit. -Wikipedia
The snow leopard cannot roar, but it's vocalizations include hissing, chuffing, mews, growls, and wailing.
Which I heard once at the SD Zoo when mate of the snow leopard died, you could hear her wailing. It was the saddest thing I ever heard.
In 1972, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) placed the snow leopard on its Red List of Threatened Species as endangered; the same threat category was applied in the assessment conducted in 2008. -Endangered

The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with roughly 30-40 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting (for trophies and use in traditional medicines) are the biggest threats to Amur leopards in the wild.
The Amur leopard has been a protected species in Russia since 1956, but poaching is still a problem. Conservation efforts in the wild for these animals include anti-poaching patrols, customs control, fighting forest fires, environmental education programmes and working closely with local communities.
