How do snow leopards reproduce?

Snow leopards are solitary mammals, with males and females interacting with one another only during their breeding season, which lasts from January to March. Males mate with several females, and females produce litters of two to four young after a gestation of 90 to 105 days. Young leave their mother at about age one; females reach sexual maturity after age two and males by age four.
