The snow leopards and pumas have stout and rather conical canines compared to other large cats. A snow leopard’s canines grow to 3 cm in length. Given their canine and claw sizes, they are thought to be able to take down mid-sized prey (30 to 80 kg).
They are specialized hunters of large mountain ungulates, for instance, Siberian Ibex in the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Both are able to walk on the steep cliffs without any trouble. Scientists believe the two species have been living together for at least five million years.
Marmots, pikas, and snowcocks are also on their menu. However, the marmots stay in the burrow for half of the year.
