Nested target: Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) Marmots (Marmota ssp.)
Specifically the snow leopard, Eurasian lynx, and Pallas's cat, are key predators in Mongolia’s mountain, Gobi, and steppe ecosystems.
According to the national assessment, the snow leopard is classified as Endangered by the IUCN Red List, while both the Eurasian lynx and Pallas's cat are listed as Near Threatened. The snow leopard is considered a very rare species, and the Eurasian lynx is classified as rare; both are protected under the Law on Fauna. The snow leopard inhabits approximately 326,617 km² in the western half of the country, primarily in mountainous regions, with an estimated 806 to 1,127 adult individuals.
The Eurasian lynx is distributed more widely, occurring throughout Mongolia but in relatively sparse populations. It is considered that Gobi’s Altai mountains in the southern Mongolia is occupied by subspecies Lynx lynx isabellinus (Blyth, 1847), known as a ‘Gobi lynx’ by locals, adapted to rocky hilltops, bush woodlands, desert valley between mountains, and oasis in the Gobi Altai mountain range . Reduction of prey base caused by drying out water sources and retaliatory hunting are considered its main threats. Recent study also shown that the lynx in Southern Mongolia share same area and prey base with snow leopard and appears to be pushed into flatter areas and areas with more shrubs to reduce direct competition, and negative interactions that could lead to injury and even mortality. Pallas's cat is found across the steppe ecosystems, including mountainous steppe areas, and tends to prefer habitats near rocky terrain.
The Pallas’s cat is classified as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List and also in the National Red Lists of Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Pakistan. In China and Turkmenistan, the Pallas’s cat is listed as Endangered. The species is listed as Extinct in Armenia and Azerbaijan. Generally, the Pallas’s cat is considered to be widespread but is not common across its range and has a fragmented distribution. The largest populations of Pallas’s cats are believed to exist in Mongolia.
