The Amur leopard is a critically endangered subspecies of leopard found primarily in the temperate forests of the Russian Far East and northeastern China. Known for its beautiful, thick fur with rosettes, it is well-adapted to cold climates. This solitary cat typically hunts at night, preying on animals like roe deer and hares.
With an estimated population of fewer than 100 individuals in the wild, the Amur leopard faces threats from habitat loss, poaching, and prey depletion. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its habitat and increase its numbers, highlighting the importance of preserving biodiversity in these regions.
