With as few as 45 adults remaining in the wild, the Amur leopard is probably the rarest and most critically endangered big cat in the world. Habitat destruction, degradation and poaching of Amur leopards and their prey are persistent threats. Hunted largely for its beautiful, spotted fur, the loss of each Amur leopard puts the species at greater risk of extinction.
The Amur leopard is classified as Critically Endangered since 1996 by IUCN. Data published by the World Wildlife Fund indicates that there are roughly 50 adult Amur leopards in the wild today.
The Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of northeast China. They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years. The Amur leopard is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard.

We found this beautiful young leopard lying some 10 meters next to the road and quite relaxed. We had this one for ourselves because passing cars did not stop and asked where we were watching at!!

A young female leopard moving through the bush and undergrowth with the silence and stealth of a hungry cat.
This image was captured in the wild in the Kgalagadi.
(You might have noticed, this is the nth upload of this same leopard, but then again, she gave me so much pleasure and time to capture images of her!)
Another photo of the beautiful female leopard that ran alongside the road as we were driving along. We stopped the car and she came up beside the car and hid behind a bush and began watching some Impala on the opposite side. They spotted her and she decided to just sit and wait. There were no other cars around for quite a while, so a wonderful sighting where we had her to ourselves for photos.

Leopards are graceful and powerful cats. They are astoundingly strong and are the strongest of the big cats. They are able to climb trees, even when carrying heavy prey, and often choose to rest on tree branches during the day.
The leopard is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild.
They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically. They are also very strong swimmers.

I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

This is another view of the first leopard we saw in Motswari.
We had an excellant day in the park today - 4 leopard sightings.I will have to add photos later.
One early rainy morning we spotted this young male leopard sitting out near the road not far from camp! He was sitting in some bushes and just sat there and stared at us! I love this capture with his tongue out and I think it shows his youth! This photo was taken in the Olare motorogi conservancy in Kenya!

This leopard was very busy raising its prey to the top of the tree to protect it from lusts. It took us half an hour to approach him, step by step, to give him confidence. With his gaze, he ensured our benevolence. On the other hand, another vehicle arrived noisily and without respect and it fled.
Ce léopard était très occupé à remonter sa proie au sommet de l'arbre pour la mettre à l'abri des convoitises. Nous avons mis une demi heure à l'approcher, étape par étape pour le mettre en confiance. Avec son regard, il s'est assuré de notre bienveillance. Par contre, un autre véhicule est arrivé bruyamment, sans respect et il s'est enfui.
