Amur Leopard
Amur leopard are from high elevations like the mountains of Japan and china. These leopards territory can range from nineteen to a hundred twenty square miles. The Amur leopards have the longest legs of any leopard and they used them to speed after their prey in their territory. Their prey is usually a roe deer but they will also eat mouse and pig.
The Amur tiger is endangered for a few reasons. Their huge lose of land because of logging, forest fires, and land conversion to farming land are the main reasons. Other things like prey scarcity, inbreeding, and poaching are smaller factors. Right now there are only 25-40 Amur leopards that remain. The number of cubs of an adult female dropped from 1.9 cubs in 1973 to 1 cub in 1991.
The Amur leopards have a few interesting things about them. Their fur goes from a 2.5cm reddish yellow in the summer to a 7cm lighter color. The adult males can weigh in at 120 pounds and the adult female weight maxes out at about 75 pounds. Although they eat larger animals like deer and wild pigs they also eat small rodents like mice.
