| First image of an Amur leopard recorded in China | |
| 2011 Cat News (55): 9-9 | |
As a part of a research project on the Siberian tiger_ Panthera tigris altaica_ and the Amur leopard _Panthera pardus orientalis_ of northeast China, we established a camera-trap network to monitor the dynamics of the population. A wild male Amur leopard was recorded by camera trap in the Hunchun National Nature Reserve, Jilin province, China, on 18 October 2010. This was the first time that a Amur leopard has been photographed in the natural forested area of northeast China and confirmed the existence of the species in this area. |
