Amur leopard
Refers specifically to the Amur leopard subspecies (Panthera pardus orientalis), a critically endangered big cat native to the Russian Far East and northeastern China.
The Amur leopard is on the brink of extinction.
An Amur leopard cub was born at the zoo.
Kanji spelling exists but is uncommon; the katakana form is strongly preferred.
From Russian Амур (Amur, the river/region) + 豹 (ひょう, 'leopard'). The katakana spelling reflects its status as a modern zoological term.
