Snow jaguar (SciiFii)

The snow jaguar (Panthera wyomingensis ) is a species of felid within the genus Panthera, most closely related to the Asian snow leopard (Panthera uncia), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the cool and cold hilly and mountainous regions across North America to help boost biodiversity. The snow jaguar, like the snow leopard, has many adaptations for its cold habitat; long body hair and thick, woolly belly fur, large paws and a well-developed chest and enlarged nasal cavity that warms the cold air as it is breathed in. The long, thick tail is almost a metre in length and is used for balance and as added insulation when wrapped around the body and face at rest. The short forelimbs and long hind limbs enable this leopard to be particularly agile in its steep and rugged habitat. Snow leopards are able to jump as far as 50 feet (15 metres). Snow jaguars are capable of killing prey up to three times their own weight. The conservation status of the snow jaguar is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the snow jaguar's wide range.
