Survival of snow leopard populations could be "precarious" in the future due to the way the elusive mountain cats have evolved, scientists recently discovered. Snow leopards have low genetic diversity ...

One of the most elusive animal species may disappear, researchers said. Survival of snow leopard populations could be "precarious" in the future due to the way the elusive mountain cats have evolved, ...

There are relatively few snow leopards in the world, and it has likely been that way for a long time, a new study indicates. This situation increases their risk of extinction in a changing environment ...

Whole genome sequencing has revealed that snow leopards have low genetic diversity because they are rare, and probably always have been. Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia). (Credit: Paul Groom Photography ...
