雪豹 is the title for snow leopard (Latin classification: "Panthera uncia" or "Uncia uncia") in Chinese and Japanese.
Leopard / Panther / Jaguar
豹 is the Chinese and Japanese word for the big cat known as a leopard, panther or Jaguar.
This can refer to most cats of the Panthera genus as well as the Puma genus (but this is not used for most kinds of lions, except smaller ones like the mountain lion).
Because Jaguars are not native to Asia, the characters for "American continent" is usually added before this character to specifically designate a Jaguar.
This also kind of means Panther or Leopard in Korean Hanja but in modern Korean, they add a Hangul character to complete the word.

豹子 is the meaning of Nimra which means leopard.
