GENTLE AS A BUTTERFLY, BRUTAL AS A LION.

Unlike other big cats, the diminutive snow leopard is not known to be aggressive over its kills. When challenged by other predators, they’re likely to back away and forfeit a meal. They will do the same towards humans. In fact, when humans are around, Snow Leopard behavior will change: They may even become nocturnal to avoid confrontation. Though these powerful predators can kill animals three times their weight.
