Mating season for wild snow leopards is between January and mid-March. During this time, a male and a female will travel together for a few days and copulate. The cats will then part ways and become solitary once again, with the female taking full responsibility of raising any offspring.

The female is typically pregnant for 93-110 days before her litter is born in June or July.

In captivity, snow leopards have been known to live for as long as 22 years.

Snow leopards live in the high, rugged mountains of Central Asia. While their habitat range covers 2 million km2 (approximately the size of Greenland or Mexico), there are only between 4,000 to 6,500 snow leopards left in the wild

Their habitat extends through twelve countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
