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

Ocean Acrobats & Clever Hunters 🔻In Russian they are called: • Горбатый кит (горбатые киты) [gar-ba-tyj ki-t (gar-ba-ty-ye ki-ty)] Or a shorter form: • Горбач (горбачи) [gar-bach (gar-ba-chi)] 🔻Humpback whales are famous for their spectacular, awe-inspiring jumps. A thirty-ton creature launching its entire body from the water with a thunderous roar is an unforgettable sight. 🔻The true meaning behind this incredible acrobatics remains a mystery. Perhaps it's for communication, stunning fish, shedding parasites, or simply play. 🔻Humpbacks are also masters of innovative feeding, notably bubble-net feeding. Groups create a net of air bubbles around fish schools, trapping prey for engulfment from below. They also frequently hunt in groups; synchronized attacks boost success. 🔻Named for arching their back (humping) when diving, humpbacks also reveal their tail fluke. Each fluke has a unique, beautiful, fingerprint-like pattern, useful for identification. 🔻In Russia, humpbacks can be spotted around the Commander and Kuril Islands, Kamchatka, Kola Peninsula, Chukotka, and near Wrangel and Herald Islands. 🔻When observing humpbacks, keep your camera ready! Even without a breach, you're guaranteed a stunning shot of their unique diving tail. Video: Vadim Makhorov #fact_file #Russiannature 😎RCR | Support | Boost
