The current range of the Amur Leopard is Southwest Primorsky Krai.


Leopards are not found any place north of their current range.

'The Amur leopard is also not present in Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik, and so the estimate of carrying capacity using data from Miquelle et al. (1999) may more closely approximate the actual carrying capacity in the EWM.'

Tigers live in Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik, but not Leopards. Reply
