=The Amur Leopard=

The Amur Leopards habitat and region is the mountains in South-Eastern Russia.Their main prey is the Roe deer, Sika deer, Musk deer, Wild Boar, and small mammals such as hares and badgers. Amur Leopards reach sexual maturity at the age of 2-3 and ability to reproduce continues until age of 10-15. The gestation period for female Amur Leopards is 90-105 days, but usually only takes 92-95 days.Amur Leopards can have up to 4 cubs but most commonly only 2. Cubs weight between 500-700 grams, and open their eyes ten days after birth.



The IUCN statues for the Amur Leopard is Critically Endanger and has been since 1996. The main threat to Amur Leopards is poaching for their valuable fur. The stuff already being done to protect the Amur Leopard is increasing the number of prey, supporting anti-poaching, and stoping trade of their valuable fur.One group that is helping out at this time is the WWF(world wild life). One way to help out the Amur Leopard is by raising money and then adopting a Amur Leopard.
