Panthera uncia

A little digging at wiki recently turned up the information that one of our members is a snow leopard, whose official name is Panthera uncia. He must be logging on somewhere in the Kazakh or Himalaya region, or from a zoo. The Panthera family is best known for its roarers, such as the ever-popular lions and tigers. Almost everyone in the clan is able to roar, but P. uncia is a distant cousin who does not possess the pipes for it. On the bright side, this may make him better at purring. For more information on how cool purring is, check out this article on how purring in cats strengthens and heals tissue: http://www.bksv.com/2798.asp
