Can someone explain this please :::

8d...Wild animal needing power to make sudden swoop ...O?N?E
I can see that it must be OUNCE ,,,pounce/swoop, but where is OUNCE defined in the clue ?

Sudden swoop is pounce.
An ounce is a snow leopard.

Mikey, I first came across ounce/snow leopard many years ago when I first dipped my toe into crosswords.
It was new to me and I realised I was going to need a good dictionary!
