Snow leopard
Although it's very hard to stumble across a snow leopard, let alone study them, it is estimated than there could be as few as 4,000 left in the wild. Native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia, these astonishingly beautiful cats are known to prey on livestock as their natural habitat declines, making them a target for farmers. They are also hunted for their pelts, and their body parts used in Chinese medicine.
