The snow leopard is capable of killing prey three times its weight. Snow leopards help to keep the ecosystem in balance by preying on Himalayan marmot populations which are over populated. Snow Leopards eat slow, usually taking 3 or 4 days to consume a sheep or goat. Snow leopards usually kill a large animal twice a month on average. During the summer time they like to feed on small rodents, and during mating season they like to eat plant materials.
