Its most distinctive features include a flattened facial structure and small, rounded ears set low on the head, which serve to reduce heat loss and aid in a low-profile hunting style. The creature's incredibly dense, gray-and-white mottled coat provides superior insulation against extreme cold and excellent camouflage, while its large, pale green eyes are perfectly adapted for scanning its surroundings. The intense upward gaze reveals the keen predatory instincts and solitary nature for which this elusive species is known.
