Amur leopard

The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is a critically endangered subspecies of leopard native to a small region near the Sino-Russian border. It is the northernmost leopard subspecies. Historically, Amur leopards inhabited southeastern Siberia, Manchuria, and Korea, but their range has significantly diminished.1

The leopard species (Panthera pardus) is a large cat found across Africa and parts of Asia. Leopards are solitary, primarily nocturnal animals known for their climbing abilities and varied diet. Several leopard subspecies, including the Amur leopard, are listed as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts, such as captive breeding programs, are underway to protect the Amur leopard.21
