| About |
Size / Weight Male Amur leopards can weigh between 80 and 198 lbs. Females are somewhat smaller, weighing between 60 and 130 lbs. Color The Amur leopard has a cream colored coat that is marked with rosette spots of black with tan centers. The hair on the coat is long enough to keep the leopard warm in the cold climates of its home. Habitat The Amur leopard is native to the mountainous forests of Korea, Manchuria, and Siberia. Reproduction After a gestation period of 90-105 days, the female Amur leopard gives birth to between 1 and 6 young. The babies are weaned at 3 months and become independent at 18-24 months. Conservation The Amur leopard is a severely endangered animal. The loss of its habitat, as well as poaching and loss of prey have all been factors in the decline of this species’ numbers. There may be as few as 50 Amur leopards left in the wild. Fun Facts The Amur leopard is able to run as fast as 30 miles per hour for short periods of time
