  3. WHAT? • What is the species? The species I am doing this month is… The Amur Leopard, the scientific name for this beautiful creature is the Panthera pardus orientalis.Roughly there are 30-40 remaining in the wild, yet only 12 are pure-breeds. Let’s meow to the “WHEN?”

  4. WHEN? • When did this animal become endangered? The Amur Leopard was added to the endangered list, quite a few times in,1996 by the IUCN and in1994 by the IUCN again. Let’s hop to the “WHERE?”

  5. WHERE? • Where does this species originate from? The Amur Leopard originates from China, some of Korea, and parts ofRussia. I know this section was short so let’s rawr to the “WHY?”

  6. WHY? • Why is this species endangered? The Amur Leopard is usually hunted for its beautiful, spotted fur. In 1999, an undercover investigation team found a female and a male Amur leopard skin, which were being sold for $500 and $1,000 respectively in the village of Barabash, not far from the Kedrovaya Pad reserve in Russia.

  7. WHY? (Cont.) • Why is this species endangered? The main reason is due to habitat destruction(i.e wildfires, intensive logging, etc.) The second reason as I said in the other “WHY?” is because they are being poached for they’re beautiful coat and bones. Now let’s have a break for or “Fast Facts!”
