Clip Description
The elusive Amur leopard has been ruthlessly hunted. In 2024, only 120 of these majestic mammals remained in the wild. This critically endangered big cat must patrol a territory of over 100 square miles to find enough to eat.
In this fascinating clip, an Amur leopard is searching for prey. In the cold of March, prey is at its most scarce – but this is not the only difficulty faced by the big cat: this leopard shares its territory with someone else. Who might this be? Watch the clip to find out.
