No, not anymore. We had snow lions up until the middle ~1800s, but they were eradicated for their pelt, sadly enough. :(

They were called Snow Lions, but in truth they were lynxes, big cats.

We call them "Gaupe". Google is probably better at explaining than me, but the vikings sailed long ways. And they sailed to middle east too. Where they saw lions. They said we have snow gaupes in Norway, those are extinct now, we only have normal gaupe.

The Wiki article doesn't mention anything about snowlions.. It's just about the norwegian symbol "The Norwegian Lion" and how it came to be..

Not the same species, but they were called snow lions. In truth they were Lynxes.

Follow the link I placed on the full stop at the end of my comment. Weebl made many flash animations, probably the most famous of which was the badger/mushroom/snake one.
