Cause for it being endangered
The main cause of it being endangered is people hunting for its fur. Hunting is now banned in many countries, and to make sure wild populations are being kept safe, captive breeding programs have been developed for some island populations.
Fairly successful in the wild because of their ability to adapt, leopard cats are, however, hunted for the fur trade, and in some areas are taken for food. Japan is the major cat fur consumer in Asia, and leopard cat skins are their first choice, importing as many as 50,000 skins per year. Since 1993, the government has allotted no export permits, but there were still 80,000 to 150,000 skins exported to Russia.

Diet
The Asian Leopard Cat's diet includes rodents, small birds, amphibians, fish, insects, reptiles, eggs and small mammals including small deer. Occasionally they also feed on fallen bats and swifts near caves. The Cat- being a nocturnal creature usually hunts at night and hunts alone. They also hunt both on the ground and in the trees.
Hoped it helped I used some of this information for a project
The scientific name for the Asian Leopard is Yellowis Squintyeyedis. There are none of them currently in captivity as they are extremely sneaky and only operate at night. Those suckers are ninjas
in the UK about £250- £300 for a decent one
The leopard cats are an endangered species, and it is estimated that there is only 1500 left in the wild
I think its 218.... im not sure.
218
yes
Sri Lankan Leopard: 700-950Javan Leopard: Less than 250, maybe less than 100Arabian Leopard, South Arabian Leopard: 150-250Amur Leopard: 30-60Persian Leopard, Caucasian Leopard, Central Asian Leopard, North Persian Leopard, West Asian Leopard: 871-1,290Then there are the African leopards... 27'000?14,000 leopards in IndiaThese are rough estimates, but it is unlikely in the extreme that the worlds wild leopard population is as high as 100,000.If you put where, we could answer you. Like, the Usa, asia, where?it really depends which type of leopard...for example there about 40 amur leopards left in the wild in russia There is no such thing as a "leapord".
There are many in captivity, as these cats are often kept as pets by some. The ocelot is not an endangered species.
There are many languages and dialects that fall under the category of Asian, It depends on which one you are referring to.
There are only 4 big cats. Lion, Tiger, Jaguar and Leopard.
There are 34700 types
there are about 250,000 leopards left in the world in 2016
There are many of them: cheetah, bobcat, lynx, snow leopard, the genet, the serval, leopard, and I'm sure there are many more of them. There are many ways to figure it out.
Yes, big cats include: Lion, Tiger, Panther, Leopard, Jaguar, Cheetah, Snow Leopard and the Cougar. If you google big cats and go under images you are sure to see many of those types of animals.

No. The leopard, Panthera Pardus, is found on the Asian continent as well, in many countries.
