Adult snow leopards (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia) can grow to a length of about 2.1 meters (7 feet) from head to tail and weigh 23–41 kg (50–90 pounds).
Most canines (members of the family Canidae) have 42 teeth in their adult set. These include unspecialized incisors, large fanglike teeth used to kill prey, sharp premolars, and molars designed to crush bone. Like other carnivores, their teeth are generally high-crowned and pointed to facilitate tearing and shearing.12
