Animals of the Snow and Ice (Enslow)
This book describes the snow leopards and their physical characteristics, behavior, social life, and hunting methods by focusing on their anatomy, their habits, and their habitats.

The elusive snow leopard may be one of the least known of the big cats. It lives in the far reaches of the Asian mountains and is considered endangered. This book describes these solitary animals and their physical characteristics, behavior, social life, and hunting methods by focusing on their anatomy, their habits, and their habitats.


The simple text is crisply written and informative and is enhanced by spectacular full color photographs of the snow leopards in different attitudes. The photographs are appropriately captioned and add greatly to the appeal of the book. It begins with a brief glossary ad ends with a “fun facts” page, a bibliography of books and web sites, and an index.

This is a recommended series for elementary level libraries. Ogintz, Susan
