AMUR LEOPARD:   The amur leopard is a medium sized cat found in eastern Asia.  Due to poor habitat quality and reduction of occupancy, the total amur leopard population has dropped by over 80% in the last three generations.  Only 50 mature individuals remain in the wild, and those numbers are still dropping.  Amur leopards usually hunt small monkeys and mammals, but when food is scarce, they have been known to pick off small rodents and even arthropods.
 

    ANATOLIAN LEOPARD:  Anatolian leopards are close cousins of amur leopards.  The anatolian leopard population has been reduced to around 250 mature individuals.  Most of the main population is split up into smaller, severely fragmented, sub populations.  Living in Turkey, anatolian leopards usually prey on small deer and other small mammals.
 
 

    SNOW LEOPARD:  Also known as ounce, the snow leopard is native to central Asia.  This larger member of the cat family has adapted well to its snowy and desolate environment.  It has a thick layer of soft, insulating underfur to help it stay warm in sub-zero temperatures.  While its dazzling coat is pale gray with black rosettes, its under parts are mostly white.  Even though they can grow to an amazing 7.6 feet long, snow leopards are extremely agile hunters.  Their huge legs and sharp teeth help them take down prey as large as deer.  Snow leopards are have been over hunted for their unique fur and now only 2,500 snow leopards remain in the wild.
