There is not enough data to draw conclusions about litter size in the wild. In captivity, female snow leopards most often bear 2 or 3 cubs in a litter, though there can be more. The mating season is January to mid-March, and most births occur in May and June. The cubs will stay with the mother for 18 to 22 months, and siblings may stay together briefly after the mother leaves.
