The range of this species used to cover areas of China, Russia, and the Korean peninsula. However, their numbers have shrunk dramatically, and this cat is no longer found in China or Korea. In Russia as few as 14-20 adults were estimated to survive in 2007.
Amur leopards have been listed by the IUCN as critically endangered, meaning that the species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild

Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)
Range: Mountain ranges of Central Asia from Northwestern China to Tibet and the Himalayas.
Status: Endangered

Khavan is one of two amur leopards at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts. I have a really hard time getting a decent photo of him because of the fencing......
Leopards are very reclusive, solitary and difficult to see in Africa. This was a lucky shot. Ann Harmless
150.366: The amur leopard takes rest in the outside exhibit enclosure. It was wonderful being able to be so close to this animal while it paced around the exhibit area but was very difficult to get a decent photo due to the structure and layout.
