This subspecies — which is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard, or the Korean leopard, despite being nearly extinct outside of the Amur River basin in eastern Russia — can run upwards of 37 miles an hour and jump as high as 19 feet in the air.

According to a 2015 census, there are only around 60 Amur leopards left, all living at Russia's Land of the Leopard National Park.
