The Niche:
The snow leopard is the top predator in its ecosystem and therefore is responsible for keeping the other species in check. If something were to happen to the snow leopards it would throw the whole ecosystem out of sync because without a top predator not to mention the only predator the other organism would continue without a filter. The blue sheeps and Siberian ibex are herbivores so that means that they eat grass and other autotrophs they do not eat meat whatsoever. They would be mating and growing out of portion and then they would overgraze the food. Which would result in the food source being limited and then they would have competition between them and the other herbivores. The snow leopard ensures balance between the herbivores and other species in the ecosystem.That's what they do their niche is to ensure the balance between the ecosystem and the organisms within it.
