Why do they do this? There's another picture floating around of this breed eating its own tail. Is it some sort of defensive mechanism?

I've seen claims that it's an instinct to protect their mouth & nose from cold environments. But they also seem to do it in warmer climates and I've heard zoologists claim they only do it in captivity.
It could be some behaviour their picked up as a cub and retained. Sort of similar to domestic cats and kneading. Or it could be that they were entertaining themselves by chasing their own tail like cats do. :shrug:

It's extremely hard to verify whether a species does a behavior in the wild, especially one as hard to track as Snow Leopards. That said, it's probably juvenile behavior they do in adulthood to destress. They do alright in captivity (we can breed them, at least) but it's not ideal for them since in the wild they have hunting ranges around 80 square miles or possibly more (they don't defend their territory that much from each other).

There's pictures of them doing it in the wild, so I'm guessing they do it there. They might do it more often in captivity, though.

First time I saw that one it said the Panda was surrendering to a bug on the rock. It does look like something is moving upon the stone.
