In southeastern Michigan, it is only cold for about half the year. The snow leopard would have to shed its thick coat in the summer due to it being so hot. The snow leopard is used to the cold and snow, not the heat. They also would not blend into their surroundings very easily. They would have to change the color of their fur depending on the season. Their white fur against the grass in the summertime would be bad for stalking prey and hiding from other animals. In the winter, they would be okay with the snow but they wouldn't be in their habitat of the mountains. Southeastern Michigan doesn't have any mountains for them to live on, which are what they are used to. The snow leopards would have to get used to living on the flat ground.
