Learn why a snow leopard has spots and how these spots help it hide in snowy mountains, explained simply for kids aged 6.
Hi there! Do you know what a snow leopard is? It's a big, furry cat that lives high up in snowy mountains where there are lots of grey rocks and white snow.
The snow leopard has spots on its fur. These spots are like little circles or shapes all over its body.
Why does it have spots? Well, the spots help the snow leopard blend in with its home. Because the snow leopard lives where there are grey rocks and white snow, the spots make it look like the rocks and snow. This is called camouflage.
Camouflage helps the snow leopard hide from other animals and also helps it sneak up on the animals it wants to hunt. So, the spots are like a secret coat that keeps the snow leopard safe and helps it find food!
