The Amur Leopard is the worlds rarest cat. Some background information about Amur Leopards. Leopards in general only occasionally kill people on accident, but once they have begun to prey on people, they become bolder and can kill an enormous number of people. The Amur leopard is one of seven different subspecies of leopards.
First if this petition gets to 1000 signatures I will write a letter to the Russian and Chinese governments and ask if they can do something like create a nature reserve for them, make stronger laws or something like that.
The are criticality endangered!
The population of the world's rarest cat, also known as the Far Eastern Leopard, is around 57 in Russia and 12 in near areas of China. The animals are threatened by poaching, encroaching civilization, new roads and the exploitation of forests.
Amur leopards live in the temperature forests of far eastern Russia, experiencing harsh winters with extreme cold and deep snow as well a hot summers.
People usually think of leopards in the savannas of Africa but in the Russian Far East, a rare subspecies has adapted to life in the temperate forests that make up the northern-most part of the species’ range.
Similar to other leopards, the Amur leopard can run at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour. This incredible animal has been reported to leap more than 19 feet horizontally and up to 10 feet vertically.
The Amur leopard is solitary. Nimble-footed and strong, it carries and hides unfinished kills so that they are not taken by other predators. It has been reported that some males stay with females after mating, and may even help with rearing the young. Several males sometimes follow and fight over a female.They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years.

Now you know being the worlds rarest something is pretty cool but having that title since 2007 is really sad. This basically means not much has been done to try and save these adorable creatures. Now if you think these rare cats deserve a chance sign now.
