Our school is working towards our 5th Green School Flag.
The theme for this flag is Biodiversity.
As part of this project we have adopted a Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopards are an endangered species.
Snow Leopards are top of the food chain.
What do Snow Leopards like to eat?
Dr. Rodney Jackson is a leading expert on Snow Leopards
from the Snow Leopard Conservancy.
He said in a year a snow leopard from a National Park in India ate:
(Blue sheep are wild sheep.
They are slate grey in colour.
People say they look blueish)
9 Tibetan woolly hare,
(Marmots are large squirrels)
5 domestic goats
(Domestic animals are tamed by man.
Farm animals are domestic.)
1 domestic sheep
