So it gets a little longer every year of its life. They're born alive and about four feet (1.2 meters) long at birth. One of the biggest kinds of sharks, adults often grow to be 20 feet (6 meters) long. Measure off a piece of string that length. Stretch it out on the floor and lie down next to it with your feet at one end of the string. Set something, like a pencil, across the string next to your head. Use a measuring tape to find out how many feet/meters shorter you are than a Great White Shark.<br /><br />Now, find at least 3 things about the same length as a Great White Shark. What are they?

He said, “Once, I was lucky enough to see a mother have two cubs with her while she hunted.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dr. McCarthy guessed the cubs were in training. Snow leopard cubs spend two years with their mothers learning to survive on their own. That inspired me to wonder what lessons snow leopard cubs need to learn in order to be successful in the extreme conditions of their home habitat. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;">For one thing, as soon as they’re big enough, snow leopard cubs travel with their mother. That way they get a close look at the features of their environment. And they learn the shortest, safest routes to take. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZDIF6MI74qUAlq-kQOflzfoSHSpgdOOnhFwvW2xcaA8x7P5RQohH0Tctl4CDQxFBRs2JTduYPKvwGlzfDQnq4qxX1SPRtYB2Z2lnf5GYJLK6WEo4I1afzenzdA8e0rPvccV8ew3LYugrb/s1600/CUBS-AND-MOM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZDIF6MI74qUAlq-kQOflzfoSHSpgdOOnhFwvW2xcaA8x7P5RQohH0Tctl4CDQxFBRs2JTduYPKvwGlzfDQnq4qxX1SPRtYB2Z2lnf5GYJLK6WEo4I1afzenzdA8e0rPvccV8ew3LYugrb/w640-h396/CUBS-AND-MOM.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The snow leopard’s habitat is really a high desert with very steep terrain. When these cats hunt, they have to chase down prey animals, like ibex, capable of running down steep, rocky slopes without falling. And they have to pounce at just the right moment to stop their prey without going over a cliff.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_ldWCgCevItQnR1Wq3cI4XSEOFwCkmhW3TdW7uZqEPtwCSlHnw9InW8TALlL6MGfgJgP6UJMUtyEJoHddR8UXU4EkE36X8pdpyrwZeEd8-nedj_k5eOyrUwhAynNkKQ9AyXvDIBvoLyI/s1600/CAT-POUNCE.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_ldWCgCevItQnR1Wq3cI4XSEOFwCkmhW3TdW7uZqEPtwCSlHnw9InW8TALlL6MGfgJgP6UJMUtyEJoHddR8UXU4EkE36X8pdpyrwZeEd8-nedj_k5eOyrUwhAynNkKQ9AyXvDIBvoLyI/w458-h640/CAT-POUNCE.jpg" width="458" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Snow leopards do have some natural built-in advantages. One is a very long tail. Dr. McCarthy reports that a snow leopard’s tail is all muscle and that it’s heavy. He said, “It must even be heavy for the snow leopard. In snow, I’d see a mark where a cat would start to drag its tail after every two or three steps. So holding up its long tail must be tiring.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Having such a long tail is worth the effort, though, when the snow leopard starts to run. It swings its tail back and forth and that helps it stay balance while twisting and turning. To get a feel for how its tail helps a snow leopard stay balanced, try this. Stand on one foot with your hands at your sides. Then repeat standing on one foot but this time stretch out your arms and move them forward and backward. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Snow leopards also have big feet that act like snowshoes, helping them walk on top of fluffy snow. In fact, Dr. McCarthy reported a snow leopard’s feet leave very round footprints because their feet are about as wide as they are long (about four to five inches in both directions.) </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcuo2sLPNzsLAatNB7oOqw_xJ5ZnETn5-399L9r7Bl6wB_88ajadUeT0FWn26-gna8PKi-eTnorMVQ_UgNDh_EZosa0O_0W-6czPH4liDYJ1nAhrsJL4zTjMrK7-QVhGynzg9nf05ggVd/s1600/CUBS-TRAVEL.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcuo2sLPNzsLAatNB7oOqw_xJ5ZnETn5-399L9r7Bl6wB_88ajadUeT0FWn26-gna8PKi-eTnorMVQ_UgNDh_EZosa0O_0W-6czPH4liDYJ1nAhrsJL4zTjMrK7-QVhGynzg9nf05ggVd/w675-h466/CUBS-TRAVEL.jpg" width="675" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;">These cats also have a lot of fur around their toes and the pads of their feet to shield them from the ice and snow. Like housecats, snow leopards have retractable claws. They put these out to help them climb and to stop themselves from skidding.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dr. McCarthy reported that once a snow leopard catches prey it needs a safe place to eat—safer than on a steep mountainside. Dr. McCarthy said, “I’ve watched a snow leopard drag a big goat that weighs as much, if not slightly more, than the cat does. And it drags this prey uphill.” <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Imagine pulling something that weighs as much as you do. Now, imagine doing it the way a snow leopard does. This cat bites to grab its prey. Then it drags this weight between its legs. This is another behavior snow leopard cubs learn by being copycats, doing what their mother does.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIhlkwQbNtZxMnsCzVFGNdCr55UGpjk1V6Gx8NbLQQkayhsZuEf4qWA0kMSWKRFLgBGIHDRMwcefVYko1PvkpcUq8vRBRNExtLq6r6dAoA1IyRP6ncDI1dXLS1qClAjJX1T0TLbCnNVutY/s1600/CAT-DRAG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIhlkwQbNtZxMnsCzVFGNdCr55UGpjk1V6Gx8NbLQQkayhsZuEf4qWA0kMSWKRFLgBGIHDRMwcefVYko1PvkpcUq8vRBRNExtLq6r6dAoA1IyRP6ncDI1dXLS1qClAjJX1T0TLbCnNVutY/w592-h640/CAT-DRAG.jpg" width="592" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;">You might be surprised to learn that snow leopards usually only get a chance to catch big prey about once a week.
