Although the ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau is relatively worse than other plains and hills, it has also formed its own unique ecosystem. In this ecosystem, there are also some powerful predators, such as snow leopards, Eurasian lynx, wolves, etc.
In addition, although bears are omnivores and cannot be considered as main carnivores, they are large and aggressive, and are not easily provoked. In the plateau ecosystem, the fierce beast standing atop the food chain is undoubtedly the snow leopard. It belongs to the Leopard family and is closely related to tigers.
Although snow leopards are nominally the top predators in the highland ecosystem, the niches in its habitat are similar to those of the tiger in the forest, but the size determines that snow leopards do not have the same dominance. like a tiger.
On the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, there are a large number of wolves. Although the Zang wolf's body is not as big as the gray wolf in North America, it is usually about 20-30 kg. However, the Qinghai-Tibet plateau has vast meadows and larger vegetation. Most of them live in groups. Perhaps the first three or five were not Snow Leopard rivals, but larger numbers were not enough for Snow Leopard to withstand. It is far different from the restraint of the Siberian Tiger in the Russian Far East.

There has been a distribution of bears since ancient times. There are many Tibetan brown bears on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. These brown bears are also known as Tibetan horse bears. Although they are not as good as Ussuri brown bears and Alaska brown bears, they also have 150-220 kg. Enough to make it touch the invincible hand of "Qinghai-Tibet".
Fortunately, brown bears are large, not as agile as Snow Leopard and the competition for food between the two is relatively low. Faced with this "big", Snow Leopard has enough self-defense skills. In fact, people are not observing Snow Leopard. There have been predators of brown bears, and conflicts with wolves have occurred over time. So long as the Snow Leopard doesn't fight hard with the Tibetan Brown Bear, there's nothing to worry about.

In recent years, as global temperatures have risen, the forest has moved and the cheetah, which lives at low altitudes, has been photographed multiple times in the same place as the snow leopard at different times. . The leopard has begun to have a definite impact on the survival of the snow leopard. Will the panther increase the threat of snow leopard in the future as forest tracks continue to increase?
Leopard and Snow Leopard "distributed in the same frame"
This is really hard to say, because according to some scientists in the United States in 2016 using computer modeling technology to analyze the impact of climate change on snow leopard, it is said that when the climate In the future, 65% of snow leopard will live in the world. The land will be seriously affected.
