Snow leopards inhabit the highlands of central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, including the Himalayas, Hindu Kush, Plateau of Tibet, Altay Mountains, and highlands west of Lake Baikal in Russia. Living in grassy and rocky highland habitats, they are solitary hunters that prey on marmots, wild sheep, ibex, hares, and domestic livestock, often by ambushing their victims from above.
