The Amur Leopard: A Hunter of Unseen Power and Elusiveness 🔻In Russian they are called: • Леопард (леопарды) (masc.noun) [li-a-part (li-a-par-dy)] 🔻In the Red Book of the Russian Federation, the Far Eastern leopard is listed under Category I as the rarest and critically endangered subspecies, with an extremely limited range. 🔻There are fewer than 150 of them left in the world, with almost all inhabiting Primorye (Primorsky Krai, Russia). 🔻This is one of the rarest subspecies of big cats: it lives in mountainous and forested areas, hunts at night, and is extremely rarely encountered by humans. 🔻A leopard's hearing is five times sharper than a human's. 🔻Leopards get all the fluid they need from their food, so they don't often need to drink water. 🔻A leopard is capable of hauling prey weighing three times its own weight up a tall tree. 🔻If a human appears in a leopard's territory, the predator will leave that area permanently. 📎 The second video is the appearance of the Amur Leopard in Primorsky Krai, Far East of Russia. #fact_file #brief_and_interesting 😎RCR | Support | Boost
