Snow Leopards

to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

Julia and Minsoo

Snow leopards are giant cats.

Poachers change their fur to hats.

Spotted gray, brown and black,

Rough fur's something that they lack

They can jump to 20 feet,

That's a height that can't be beat.

 

Leopards live for 15 years,

Humans are their greatest fear.

Their sense of smell is very keen.

Each is a fierce killing machine.

Snow leopards are very rare,

Poaching's obviously not fair.

 

This leopard's territory's 100 miles square,

Food is something they rarely share.

It includes sheep and boar,

The snow leopard cannot roar.

Panthera uncia's their science name,

Their fur coat has brought them fame.

 

Their habitat is frosty cold,

In the Himalayas they must be bold.

The tail is almost half their length,

They're fifty inches full of strength.

The life of a leopard is not really bitter,

They have up to four cubs in a litter.
