After conducting genetic analyses, they discovered that the hemoglobin
genes of snow leopards look and work pretty much the same as those in other cats, they report today in The Journal of Experimental Biology.
In this study, the team found that the
snow leopard had unique amino - acid changes in both
genes that may have contributed to
snow leopard's acquisition
of an alpine, high altitude ecological niche.
