Fun fact: Snow leopards were initially thought to be critically endangered, but nowadays it is believed their numbers to be much higher. The combination of being almost invisible in their environment, and said environment being so inhospitable to humans made so we had a much lower number of individuals counted in the past.
Still, stupid poaching for furcoat and ancient Chinese medicine from snow leopard paws is stupid af. At least Snow Leopards are invisible af in their environment.
That's actually really nice to know. I was under the "critically endangered" impression, lol. Awesome knowing my favorite animals are likely still thriving.
Saw a baby snow leopard at the zoo. She climbed to the top of her cage (like 30ft in the air) for no reason and fell like 15ft while trying to climb down. Zookeeper was watching with us and was like, "She's fine. She does this all the time."
"Finally, a worthy opponent. Your battle will be legend- oh." That reference had me wheezing. And now it makes total sense how Tai Lung was so athletic.
I love the moment at 6:29. For anyone unaware, the goat-things a bharal, snow leopards' preferred prey when available, and are also known as "blue sheep."
I remember being a young animal loving child and seeing a program about the snow leopard and hearing that they had fat in their tail so they could survive without food for longer periods of time and thinking that they ate part of their tail. Fun times
Please do a red wolf! They are critically endangered and any coverage of their species could actually help them a lot! They are the most endangered canine in the world!
I’m not a cat person, but the snow leopard is my favorite animal. Last time I went to the zoo, I asked my girlfriend at the time if we could see the snow leopards after her favorite animal, the giraffe. When we did, she was very surprised at how geeked I got. I got more hyped than she did with the giraffes. I don’t know why I like these animals so much, I just do.
I watched a Disney documentary about polar animals and the snow leopard’s life was incredibly difficult and sad. The mother died while she was hunting because she was starving and struggling to keep her cubs alive so her cubs surely died as well. It had me in tears I’ll never watch anything snow leopard related again. I just came to leave this comment 😭😂
@@Foxfuzzer46 North China leopards don't have the same pale fur colors that Tai Lung has. North China leopards also live in forests, not mountains, while Tai Lung seems to be very well adept at climbing steep and rocky surfaces.
I remember as an elementary school kid, doing a book report on the snow leopards back when ppl weren't even sure they existed. Found next to no info on them online or in the encyclopedias (back when tvs and computers were so huge they were mostly air lol), so this makes the kid in me extra happy... I'm pretty sure my teacher and fellow students thought I made it up back then, but I still got an A so that's that ❤😂 nice vid
I adopted a snow leopard from WWF as they didn't do sharks at the time, so I have my plushie snow leopard, called Sherpa (after the mountain guides where they live), & often get pics of snow leopards. Their fur pattern really does make them blend in to rocky mountains covered in snow, & they're gorgeous & fluffy
you could literally make one about every single animal and maybe even plant or fungus or something small and i probably would watch them all. this was really really ... really great!
Well, it is called your life as a snow leopard. So it’s supposed to be you as the animal. It is very cool though. Makes it more engaging in a way, I like it 😁
I live in a city that regularly reaches temperatures over 115° F during the summer, and our zoo has a snow leopard. She is one of 3 big cat species at the zoo, and you’re by far the most likely to see her. She is always heat stressed and spends a lot of time near her water feature, but she remains alive. It is impressive how these cats can survive in the harshest conditions. I’m sure her inside area is air conditioned but she spends most of her time outside, in view of guests. Her huge teeth are quite the site.
Perhaps the life of an ocelot in Texas would be an interesting topic to cover. I live just a few miles away from ocelot habitat, but have never managed to see one.
Just found this channel and love the content. Absolutely awesome and can’t get enough of them. Any plans for a ‘Life as a Sulphur Crested or Moluccan Cockatoo’ video? Just subscribed and can’t wait for the next one.
Snow Leopards: “You knew I was the Dragon Warrior! You always knew. But when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do? What did you do?! Nothing!” The other big cats: “You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not our fault!” Snow Leopards: “Not your fault?! Who filled my head with dreams?! Who drove me to roar until my vocal cords cracked?! WHO DENIED ME MY DESTINY?!”
Bruh the comedy here is gold, i mean it took that other leopards... not to spoil. I love the animation and simple expressions, fits so well. I'm kinda glad they aren't flowy and squishy, makes it feel better here and more fun.

I believe Mongolia treats it’s snow leopards better, just population size based on country size is very impressive. Maybe it’s a cultural thing.
@@ameliorateepoch9917Maybe they are less hyped with stupid animal parts medicine
it's the Tibetans who wanna still kill them, due to their livestock being eaten.

Same, such an unexpected and hilarious moment 😂😂😂
“Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary”
Said by the a famous Snow Leopard
I caught that too😭
Actually he’s a clouded leopard
7:52 that Tai lung reference was perfect
0:40 something about her checking on me while all i can do is stare at the ceiling is so silly to me
Good point 😂
the sibling dying actually hurt me
Which one the snow guy or the actual snow leopard?
Please do a red wolf! They are critically endangered and any coverage of their species could actually help them a lot! They are the most endangered canine in the world!
I love that each leopard has its own belly design
Says something that the antagonist looming over every one of these videos is almost always humans.
Almost?

I LOVE SNOW LEOPARDS I LOVE JAMES TOLAND THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
I love Snow Leopards so much, favorite animal.
My mums favourite animal as well!
Every time I think about how hard it is being a human, I come back to these videos.
Keep making them. They're gold.
Damn snow leopard kids these days and their iPads. Back when I was a pup we used to just stare at the ceiling and that was good enough.
So basically, Snow Leopards are awesome, and we don't give them a break.
Basically every animal ever
Did you know, Human are the most dangerous species on Earth?

Its disney my dude, they will make the story super exaggerated and make you humanize these animals.
Snow leopards are not a polar species. Disney (...still has Bear Grills) is not a legit source of learning.

You forgot the part when it becomes a Kung fu master
The constant increase in production quality is insane, this is definitely my new favourite RUclips series

I thought tai lung was a North China leopard because of his roars

R.I.P. Snowman Leopard
To be fair, even if it becomes less snowy, its still gonna be rocky. I doubt tigers are going to suddently start climbing.
Love how he says “You” and other stuff like that, instead of “It” and yeah, you know? It’s like you’re the Snow Leopard! It’s pretty cool, actually.

You're the only person who makes these kind of videos that'll I watch sucks people steal your style
Easily the cutest big cat in the world

Okay wow I was not ready for both the death sibling and the snowman sibling appear as force ghosts to help her survive through the trap :')
