to life in the temperate forests that
make up the northern part of the
species range.
The Amur leopard has soft yellow
fur with black dots all over its body.

The Amur Leopards habitat is either
in the mountains or forests. The
Leopards only remain around the
Russian, China border.
They use the forests for shelter like
hiding in trees and they also use it
to catch preys because of the many
places they could hide in the dense
forest.
They live in mostly broad leaf and
mixed forests.
The mountains are also used to
hide from poachers and predators
as its safe up there although
hunters eventually are able to find
them, It takes a whole lot of time
longer.
4. FACTS
The Amur leopard is also known as
the Far East leopard. The Amur
leopard is found in temperate forest
habitat, which experience a wide
range of variability in temperature. It
is known to adapt to almost any
habitat that provides it with
sufficient food and cover.
The Amur Leopard is a carnivore
therefore it eats meat.
The main preys are roe deer, sika
deers, small wild
boars, hares, badgers and raccoon
dogs.
They live for 10-15 years.
5. WHY THEY MATTER?
The Amur leopard is important
ecologically, economically and
culturally.
Conservation of its habitat helps
other species, including Amur
tigers and prey species like deer.
There is currently only 30 left in
the whole world which all live
individually.
The Amur leopard has one of the
most soft and beautiful spotted
fur out of all the leopards.
6. WHY IS IT ENDANGERED?
The Amur leopards are currently
critically endangered because of the
small amount of them left in the wild
because of the poachers.
The Amur leopard is poached
mostly for its beautiful, spotted fur.
The female and male Amur leopard
skin are being sold for more than
$1000 each by hunters who poach
their fur.
Villages surround the forests where
the leopards live have many greedy
hunters who would make an animal
extinct just for some cash and As a
result the forests are easily
accessible, making poaching easy
for the hunters.
7. HOW CAN WE HELP?
There is currently a safe haven set
up for these leopards to start
breeding their population back into
a safe number however they will
need many donations to succeed at
this so they created a toy leopard
which is being sold to help raise
funds.
