This rare species is on the verge of extinction, but even thoughit is in a difficult place, they still manage to be one of the most uniqueanimals. 

The Amur leopard can be found in far  eastern Russia. They live in temperate forests, meaning theweather can go from very hot to very cold. They prefer to live in areas withsteep hills s lots of trees. 

These leopards eat deer, young wild boar, badgers, pheasants andgrouse. They are hunting animals and can go up to 37 miles per hour and canleap very far. The Amur leopards prefer to hike during the night but willsometimes hunt in the afternoon. 

If they life healthily and don’t die due to unnatural reasons, theAmur leopard can live up to 15 years. But sadly, they have recently beenexperiencing a population drop. They are critically endangered and theirpopulation in the wild is currently at around 57 animals. The decline has beendue to habitat loss from chopping down the forests that they live in.
