The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis), also known as the Manchurian leopard. It is critically endangered, with maybe less than 30 individuals left in the wild.
Taken in a South African game park. I grabbed the shot as the cat turned round as it slinked off into the grass.
The Amur or Far Eastern leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is a subspecies of leopard and ranks among the world's most endangered cats, with only 25–40 individuals surviving in the easternmost regions of Russia. The Amur leopard is an oddity among leopard species. Unlike its relatives who inhabit the warm savannas of Africa, the Amur leopard is well adapted to the cold mountain habitats of Russia's Far East. The Amur leopard has long limbs that enable it to walk through deep snow. When the seasons turn cold, the Amur leopard sheds its shorter, golden colored coat in favor of a longer, lighter colored coat which provides it with added insulation and camouflage.
