The Amur Leopard is one of the extremely endangered subspecies of leopards. With only 60 left, things aren’t looking sound for them. But why should we however save these leopards? What can we learn from the Amur Leopard? What makes the Amur Leopard beneficial to humans? These are all excellent questions, but to understand why they are of interest, we must understand how the species works.
The scientific name of the Amur leopard is Panthera pardus orientalis. Panthera is a genus with the Felidae family and Partus is latin for leopard. Orientalis means asiatic shrub or tree. It is likely Orientalis is in there because Amur Leopards often like to climb trees. Amur Leopards also have an interesting genetic sequence. (See figure 1 for a picture of the sequence)
The Amur Leopard has many adaptations. One of them is its speed. The Amur Leopard has the ability to run up to 35 mph per hour. This allows the Amur Leopard to travel places much faster. Amur Leopards also are some of the best hunters in the world, due to their color changing fur. The fur they have allows them to blends in with their surroundings. The Amur Leopard can use this form of camouflage to take its prey by surprise. The fur changes colors depending on the season. in the winter, the leopards have white

For example, their bone marrow is used in medicine in China. Also genetic diversity is essential. Without genetic diversity, there will be less adaptations. We can also acquire new knowledge by studying the Amur Leopard’s adaptations, figuring out what makes them the way they are. But we won’t be able to do that if the species goes extinct. The Amur Leopard gives us advantages in many ways, and that is why it is crucial we save it. You can help the Amur Leopard by donating to the WWF organization or even just by bringing awareness to the species. Even just doing something little would help, since the average person doesn’t even know about the Amur
This rare species is worth saving because of variety of factors, this will affect the interconnecting, in other words the regions ecosystem. Additionally, is the people would help of preventing this to happen, this would also help on the biodiversity, and the development. The snow leopard, as one of the most significant predator in the mountains of Central Asia, the Snow Leopard plays a significant role on ecological system, the reason why is because as Prezi, mentioned, this rare species is in control of the populations and health of the wild species it preys on. If the snow leopard is saved it will protect the region, and the over population. The snow board will not only help not having over
...rupt native species and ecosystem hence making the restoration of both evolutional and ecological potential almost impossible. Whereas Donlan (2005) concluded that re-wilding North American is the best conservation strategy to the African and Asian threatened megafauna, meanwhile re-wilding will restores the evolutionary and ecological potentials in the process. In my point of view, Pleistocene re-wilding must not be implemented simply because the introduced species might fail to adapt to the new environment. High costs and disease outbreak are another challenge that can’t be ignored.
When many hear about a lemur, they immediately think of the movie Madagascar and the fun loving role that is played by the lemur King Julien; similarly, when hearing the name Madagascar, many think of the land of the lemurs. However, what would happen if there were no more lemurs? This is a harsh but readily approaching reality of Madagascar today. Lemurs are known as the world’s most endangered mammals, and specifically the Simpona, otherwise known as the Silky Sifaka lemur, is critically endangered. If treatments of Madagascar’s habitat, specificity the small mountainous area of northeastern Madagascar where the Simpona lemur reside, continue being treated as they are today, this will not only lead to the complete extinction of this rare Lemur, but it will also affect the economic standing in Madagascar as a whole. Therefore, it is vital to recognize the solutions and act on them in order to prevent these devastating occurrences.
The Leopard is one of the five basic fighting styles. The Leopard is strong against the Dragon fighting style. It is weak against the Snake fighting style. The leopard is an offensive animal, so it is based off an offensive attacking style. The Leopard uses fast unceasing attacks and a nonstop rapid-fire barrage. The Leopard uses multiple hits at one time to defeat an opponent rather the one big hit so if the attacker misses one hit it is not important to the outcome. It uses the sum of multiple hits to beat an opponent rather than a few powerful hits.
Cheetahs have been evolving and adapting themselves to the deserts of the Serengeti for many years. However, cheetahs have never been common in the wild, but they're now in grave danger of becoming extinct, due to loss of habitat, high infant mortality, and hunting by humans for hides. Cheetahs can and should be saved because they have a difficult time surviving on there own due to poor parenting skills, cub mortality, and energy demands. The cheetah is also a very important part of the ecosystem and will be disrupted if the cheetah becomes extinct. Saving the cheetah is very important for their niche as well the niche of others. This amazing creature needs to be saved.
“Bam bam bam” you hear gun-shots in the forest a person comes out with and endangered Jaguar its face covered in blood you want to help save its species, but you don't know how, but then you ask yourself “Do I want to save this species?” the Florida Panther should be helped and if not goodbye Florida Panther. Should we help wild cats? So many species of wild cats are endangered like the cheetah and the Back Jaguar, Tigers snow leopards, and lions are all on the endangered list. We need to help them because if there numbers drop to zero there won't be anymore wild cats. Can you imagine a world without cheetahs? Like in Asia the wild cats Asiatic cheetahs, Amur leopards, Sunda clouded leopards, clouded leopards, Asiatic lions, snow leopards and tigers are all endangered.
A leopard is a powerful cat that is big that are almost related to lions, tiger, and jaguars. The leopard is a strong animal. It can be comfortable in trees, and it usually kills its prey into some type of branches. They would drag the body somewhere where it can be safe and for hyenas or any other animal not to eat their food.They are able to hunt from trees. The reason is because since they have a spotted coat, that allows them for their skin to be visible with the leaves or wherever they are hiding. This animal is a predator and stalks animals, like an antelope, deer, and pigs. When they are stalking, they usually are ready to eat their prey. That would mean they have to not move as much on the tall grass.As they see a person close to them they would either attack and animal if theres no animal it will immeadtly attack the person. Leopards are good swimmers, where they would sometimes eat fish when they swim or crabs. A leopard can give birth throughout the whole year, it doesn't matter when. Usually they give birth to two cubs that would look grayish with barely visible spots. The leopard mom would have to hide its cub in other not get eating. Once they are old enough to play and hunt they are free to be on their own. Cubs usually live with their mothers for a short time like two years because leopards are consider to be solitary animals as in been by themselves most of the time. . Most leopards are light colored with usually some dark spots, they are called rosettes.

The white tiger is one of the biggest in the cat family. The white tiger is long it can grow up to 3.3 meters long and weigh as much as 300 kilograms hard to carry. Subspecies of the white tiger like Sumatran Tiger, Amur(or Siberian) Tiger, Indian (or Bengal) tiger, south china tiger, malayan tiger,indo-chinese tiger,bali tiger,javan tiger,caspian tiger thats extinct theres nine subspecies of the white tiger.A lot of subspecies are endangered or extinct because people hunt them for their fur to make jackets or sweaters and destroying their habitat.Some tiger cubs don’t live to be an adult because around half of the cubs die around 2-3 years of age.The cubs leave their mother at around 2 years old they live a long time because their mom taught them what they would know from eating to hiding from people.A group of tigers is called ambush or streak because the group may be hunting.You probably thought these tigers can’t swim because they are in the cat family but if you do you are wrong because ...
Jaguar's yellowish coat is spotted with black rosettes or rings. They help him blend into the environment. We know less about jaguar than other big cats because he is so hard to find.
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They live in Asia and belong to the same genus as the lion, leopard, and jaguar. Two major subspecies of the tiger are the Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger. The tiger is thought to have originated in northern Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch.
The cheetah is known as a very interesting animal for many reasons. One of the prime examples of why so many people believe the cheetah is such an amazing animal is because of the speed it contains. For example, the cheetah can accelerate to speeds of over sixty miles per hour in a matter of three seconds, which is in fact, faster than some cars.(Cheetah facts, about cheetahs 1). Believe it or not, sixty miles per hour isn’t the fastest a cheetah can run! The fastest recorded time for a cheetah’s running speed was seventy five miles per hour while using their tails to steer. (Murray 1) (One Kind, Cheetahs 1). For example, cheetahs can turn in midair when they’re at a full sprint, which is pretty amazing. (One Kind, Cheetahs 1). Another reason the cheetah is such an incredible animal to observe is their hunting ability. Cheetahs are often predators in the wild, which means they hunt other
The Leopard had great variation in appearance and behavior. It is also the widest distributed of all the world’s wildcats. It’s coat color can vary from a pale yellow, to gold or a tawny color. It’s head and limbs and stomach are spotted with solid black blotches. Coat color and patterning are associated with it’s habitat.
If more people are aware of new animals on the endangered species list, there is more of a chance that researchers will get more funds. Zoos also create habitats for animals on the verge of extinction where otherwise there would be none. There is some controversy between zoos and endangered species. Because of the limited gene pool of a species, the variation is greatly limited. This will –as an end result- lead to inbreeding which will create mutations and defects in the offspring.
