| The snow leopard or ounce (_Uncia uncia _Schreber) | |
| 1934 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society: 145-146 | |
The Snow Leopard is perhaps the most beautiful of all the cats. The soft colouring and luxuriant beauty of its fur, particularly in winter, is unrivalled. In common with all creatures to whom nature has given a special endowment of beauty it pays the price in being persistently sought after and killed by man. The known range of the snow leopard is the high tablelands of Central Asia reaching northwards into the Altai Mountains and southwards to the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Great Himalayan Range. |
