Snow leopards are specialists. They evolved to eat one or two big things perfectly. They’re not scavengers. They’re not hunters of mice. They chase giants.
But their menu is shrinking because of climate change and humans stealing their grazing land. Less blue sheep means more hungry leopards. And hungry leopards eat your goats. It’s a sad feedback loop.
So next time you see a photo of a snow leopard looking majestic on a cliff, remember: it’s probably staring at a blue sheep, thinking about lunch. And it’s doing a terrible job of hiding it.
