Some of the Snow Leopards cubs will stay in their den to stay from danger. The cubs are like kittens helpless at birth and don’t open their eyes until they are 7 days old.
Snow Leopards are shy elusive cats known for their solitary nature. These cats are most active at dawn and dusk which is called a crepuscular activity pattern by scientists. Snow Leopards regularly patrol home ranges that cover a hundred of square kilometres.
