The Snow Leopard Revealed!
The large cat, known as the Snow Leopard, lives in the wilds of the rugged Himalayan mountains. It is so rarely seen that the locals call it the gray ghost. This is an account based on the author’s attempt to track one down.
Besides the excitement of actually finding this evasive animal, the book contains descriptions of the color and markings of its coat, the number of miles it travels, and the way it hunts. 
The leopard’s tale—which is the longest of any cat—is used like a scarf to keep warm during the cold winter snows, as well as, helping the leopard keep its balance when jumping and running. Its paws, which are enormous, allow the weight of the cat to be spread out so it can walk through deep snow and never sink.
True to nature illustrations of the leopard and its environment cover the pages of this over-sized, hard-backed, 5-star book. This non-fiction volume is full of facts and information that will appeal to grade school, and even older, children who are interested in details about animals and nature.
The author is a zoologist and has done many documentaries about nature and animals in wilderness locations.
