Snow Leopards can’t roar like other big cats but they have the most majestic tails ever to compensate. Their tails are almost as long as they are – somewhere between 80 to 105 centimetres long! They are mainly used to help them balance, however, they can also serve as a perfect object to OM NOM NOM on!
While Snow Leopards wrap their tails around their noses to protect themselves from cold in their natural habitat (they are Snow Leopards after all), it hardly explains why they’d do that when in captivity. Maybe it’s simply genetic, or maybe they just can’t resist the fluff? Just look at those tails. SO. MUCH. FLUFF.

Thank you. Now can we all stop killing the snow leopards, tigers, lions. Please?
I agree grace we should stop killing big cats and all wildlife I do a lot of petition to help wildlife.

The cubs nomming on tails are the most adorable. FEERCE KITTEHS! I've had the opportunity to touch snow leopard fur and it is SO SOFT. It would be awesomesauce if someone was able to come up with a synthetic equivalent.
A zookeeper I met once called it a "security blanket". In stranger news I've somehow developed a habit of doing this even though I don't have a tail. Somebody help! :P
