Info: |
Amur leopards are slightly heavier than leopards from warmer climates, with paler, much longer, thicker fur, and larger rosettes which are more widely spaced. Fur grows between 2.5 cm in the summer to 7.5 cm in winter, this is due to the cold Russian winters but mild summers living next to the sea of Japan. Amur leopards have larger feet (to help distribute weight in the snow) and bushier tails (for warmth) than leopards from warmer climates. As with other leopards, Amur leopards have long tails and longer back limbs than front limbs for agile climbing, jumping and balance. |
