The Amur Leopard


Wild feline predator native to Korea, Northeast China and the Russian Far East


The approximate population stands at about 35 individuals remaining in the wild


Male Amur leopards weigh 32 to 48 kg


Females are smaller than the males at 25 to 43 kg


Recognizable by longer fur for winter warmth and a very 'bushy' tail


In the wild leopards live for between 10 to 15 years


Poaching of leopards and their prey is a major threat


Fires destroy forests on wich Amur Leopards depend


Is considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild


Is one of the most - if not the most - endangered large cats on earth


Anti-poaching teams are working hard to save this rare Leopard
