Tour Scotland Video Leopard Zoo Edinburgh



Tour Scotland video of an Amur leopard on visit to the zoo in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Amur leopard, Panthera pardus orientalis, is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of north east China. It is classified as Critically Endangered since 1996 by IUCN. In 2007, only 26 wild Amur leopards were estimated to survive. Data published by the World Wildlife Fund indicates that there are roughly 70 adult Amur leopards in the wild today. A more recent study places the number of Amur leopards at fewer than 60.
