What are snow leopards favourite food?

Snow leopards are apex predators and their diet consists primarily of wild ungulates, which are hoofed mammals. Here are some of their favorite foods:

* Blue sheep: These are the most common prey for snow leopards.

* Ibex: These are mountain goats that are also a favored food source.

* Marmots: These are large rodents that are seasonally important to snow leopards.

* Wild goats and sheep: Snow leopards will also prey on other wild ungulates depending on their location.

* Other animals: Occasionally, snow leopards might also prey on smaller animals like rabbits, hares, and birds.

Interestingly, snow leopards don't usually go after domestic livestock, except in cases where their natural prey is scarce. This makes protecting their natural habitat and ensuring healthy wild ungulate populations crucial for their survival.
