High mountains are a bleak habitat for animal life. Food is scarce and the climate is very cold. Mammals living here have adapted to survive the bitter cold and most have thick woolly fur. Mountain sheep and goats like the chamois and ibex are very sure-footed to help them climb the jagged, craggy slopes.

How do they survive?

Are they endangered?

Well yes im afraid sadly they are!

I don't think that there are many snow leopards left in the wild anymore. I think that that is why we have zoo's to keep them safe! YAY but NO at the same time!
