Leopards in mainland Tanzania belong to the species Panthera pardus, with the subspecies being the African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus). Leopards are adaptable and can be found across various habitats in Tanzania, though numbers are declining and they favor woodlands, savannas, and forests.
The amur leopard at Edinburgh Zoo looked really miserable today. Wish I could give him a hug but I think that would have ended in even more sadness.
This is Skodje, the male amur leopard from Edinburgh Zoo.
With approximately 30 amur leopards left in the wild they are possibly the one of the most endangered big cats in the world, if not the most endangered.
The decline in their numbers is largely due to poaching of the leopards and their prey animals, habitat destruction because of human activity and inbreeding. As the population decreases, the genetic diversity decreases which weakens the species.
