I have not finished scanning the whole series yet but here are
32-48. These scans are for your personal pleasure and
should be considered the property of the original photographers.
Due to some requests I have scanned these a little higher and
compressed them a little less; they are between 66 and 249K bytes.
I have no description list of this series at this time; I may at a later time.
One more thing; this series might have been better named wild cats
since some of them are more like medium than big.
Enjoy.
Andy

The snow leopard (Uncia uncia) is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The classification of this species has been subject to change and its exact taxonomic position will not be resolved until further studies are conducted.
In the past, many taxonomists included the snow leopard in the genus Panthera, together with the other largest extant felids, but later it was placed in its own genus, Uncia. It was thought not to be closely related to the leopard (Panthera pardus). However, a recent molecular study would place the species firmly within the genus Panthera, with its closest relative being the tiger (Panthera tigris), although its exact position remains unclear, and many sources still treat it as Uncia pending further studies. |
