Leopards (panthers) continue to be vulnerable worldwide, though the most endangered is the Amur leopard of eastern China and Russia. As of 2022, fewer than 100 Amurs remain wild. Leopards face multiple threats to their survival, including poaching, loss of habitat and food scarcity, and being cut off from others of their species due to roads and infrastructure.
Native to 62 nations in Eurasia and Africa, leopards are apex predator that requires a large area to roam. Sixty-four percent of Africa's and 84 percent of Eurasia's leopard population has disappeared. Leopards divide into 27 family subspecies within the panther family, which includes five distinct species.
Are leopards found in the western hemisphere? No. The puma (including the clouded leopard and mountain lion), a cousin to the leopard, is native to the Americas. Leopards are multi-colored or black and smaller than pumas. Leopards roar. Pumas, the largest big cat, are usually tan and cannot roar. They hiss, shriek, and growl like house cats.
