Pheromones. This is a smell given off by the animals. Related animals will give off similar smelling pheromones, thus preventing inbreeding. When leopard populations are isolated though, such as the Amur Leopard, they have no choice but to inbreed. When animals are isolated pheromones play less of a role over the pure instinct to procreate and survive.
