   Reproduction and Life-Cycle

   Snow leopards are not like other cats because they give birth at a specific time. They usually mate in late winter. Snow leopards can be pregnant from 90-100 days, so cubs are born around April and June. A female snow leopard can get pregnant from 5-8 days. Males usually only mate once in a mating season because of the short amount of time. Coupled snow leopards mate from 12-36 times a day. A female looks for a rocky den or crevice where she can shed her fur and give birth. She can have 1-5 cubs that can weigh 11-20 oz. each. The cubs are blind and helpless when they're born and it will take 7 days for them to see and 5 weeks for them to walk.
   The cubs stay with their mother until they are 18-22 months and will live around 15-18 years.

        The one on the left is the female and the one on the right is the male.

                  

        The male is heavier and thicker than the female which makes it hard to tell the difference.

         I created this blog especially to help readers understand endangered animals better. There are pictures and information about different endangered animals varying from bats to elephants. Every week there will be an endangered animal of the week which will give extra information on that animal we also have a weekly video, a weekly did you know fact, weekly gender pics, weekly baby pics, a weekly reminder of a new week, a RASAP post that needs to be read as soon as possible, and the Home post will be posted again fully updated. We will also post "Comments From the Author" to see the authors Ideas and point of views. Sometimes when more information on website related things happen we have a "Home News" added as a post. There is different pages named according to the type of animals it is about, "I'm Big Not Bad"  "Just Because I Have the Looks, Doesn't Mean I Don't Have a Heart"   "I've Got Hooves and a Heart"   "I'm a Mammal Just Like You" and one that talks about pets that need homes, "I Need a Home"   If you comment on posts please do not swear or use any kind of inappropriate language.
NOTE: This blog in Not all about endangered animals.

I hope this site helps the understanding of the problems of animals for all my readers.
