Amur Leopard facts 🐆 Only in 🇷🇺 and northern 🇨🇳 Endangered Species 😞

#amazinganimals facts for kids The Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and northern China. It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In 2007, only 19 to 26 wild leopards were estimated to survive in southeastern Russia and northeastern China. It was considered as one of the rarest cats on Earth. The Amur leopard differs from other leopard subspecies by its thick fur that is pale cream-colored, particularly in winter. The winter coat varies from fairly light yellow to dense yellowish-red with a golden tinge or rusty-reddish-yellow. In summer, the fur is brighter with more vivid coloration pattern. It is rather small in body size, with males larger than females. Amur leopards are solitary, unless females have offspring. Records from camera-traps indicate that they are more active during the day than at night and during twilight, both in the summer and winter seasons. They are extremely conservative in their choice of territory. An individual’s territory is usually located in a river basin which generally extends to the natural topographical borders of the area.
