Taxonomically the snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is considered a member of the Felidae subfamily Pantherinae (Blomqvist 1978), Novak and Paradiso 1983).
However, on the basis of morphology and behavior, some authors place it in a separate genus, with the name Uncia uncia (Pocock 1917, Peters 1980), (Rieger 1980b, Hemmer 1967, 1972, Anonymous 1987c).
As in other Pantherinae, the diploid chromosome number in snow leopards is 38 and the fundamental number is 36.
