Spots Before Eyes

Spots Before Eyes
Rare beyond imagination
Lead solitary existence
Live in high harsh climate
Beautiful to behold
With thick, cream-colored coats
Adorned with gray-black spots
Camouflage to hide in remote habitat
Powerful Top Predators
With powerful legs to navigate and leap
Large furry paws to move stealthily
On rocky outcrops and deep snow
Equipped with long furry tails
To keep balance in snow drifts
And wrap around their face for warmth
Most agile of Big Cats
Don’t roar but vocalize
Communicate with growls and yowls
Few human sightings
Often heard not seen
Ghosts of the Mountains
Majestic Snow Leopards
