Amur Leopard

             Amur leopards are the rarest cats on Earth. Since there are only about 30 of them left on Earth, conservatorists are trying hard to keep them from going extinct. Amur leopards are unique predators, using their large fangs to hunt and kill. They are known for their beautiful fur, which is the main difference that separates it from other leopards and cats. They have a specific pattern and style: black rosette lines that thickly border each spot. The Amur leopard's fur is soft and silky, enhancing the already wonderful features, but to most hunters, it would make a nice furry jacket. This how most Amur leopards are dying. Poaching is the main reason why the Amur leopards are going extinct. They deserve a chance to live and thrive, so why shouldn't we give them the chance?
