With their stocky bodies, thick fur, and long bushy tails, snow leopards are perfectly prepared for winter. Their extra-large, fur-covered paws help them keep warm and distribute their weight like snow shoes, which helps keep them from from sinking into the snow.

The snow monkey habitat at Central Park Zoo includes hot tubs for the monkeys. During winter, some of the snow monkeys spend time sitting in the warm water, much like snow monkeys in their native Japan do. Some troops can be found in areas with hot springs which they frequent.

There’s something you should know! It’s a conspiracy! That’s the name for a group of lemurs. Lemurs are social animals and usually live in small groups. They work together using a technique called mobbing to outwit or “conspire” against predators, hence the name.

Snow leopards have this winter thing all figured out. Their thick fur provides insulation, their bushy tails wrap around their bodies like scarves for extra protection, and their wide, padded feet help them move quickly and gracefully over snowy terrain like natural snow-shoes.

#DidYouKnow that despite their name, snow leopards are more closely related to tigers than leopards? For a long time snow leopards were classified in a separate genus from other big cats, but, more recent DNA analysis has led taxonomists to reclassify them in the genus Panthera.
