Amur leopards, as apex predators, play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain the balance of prey populations, which in turn supports the health of vegetation and other wildlife. Their presence can indicate the overall health of the ecosystem, as they require large territories and diverse habitats. Additionally, their decline can lead to overpopulation of certain herbivore species, which may result in habitat degradation. Conservation of Amur leopards is vital for preserving biodiversity in their native habitats.

Amur leopards aren't much different from any other leopards, really. They just go about it as any other wild animal would. They simply urinate where they wish to.
Leopards are not one or the other...they can be either depending on the circumstances/situation they are in.
Humans primarily use amur leopards for their fur, which is highly valued in the illegal wildlife trade. Additionally, their habitats are often encroached upon for agriculture and urban development, leading to habitat loss. Conservation efforts focus on protecting these leopards and their ecosystems to preserve biodiversity. Overall, the relationship is largely detrimental to the species due to poaching and habitat destruction.
amur leopard babies are called cubs or pups
Amur Leopards live in couples but after they breed they live alone.
There is no such thing as an Amur Cheetah, only Amur Leopards and Amur Tigers. Both are from the Russia-Siberia area. If you are referring to Amur Leopards, humans from Russia need space to live. Hence, they are pushing back the Amur Tigers and forcing the Amur Tigers into the Amur Leopards' habitat. Since the tiger is larger and stronger (physically more dominant) than the leopard, and both are soliditary animals (unless it is mating season), the leopards are being pushed into smaller habitats and seperated from each other. This not only makes it tough for the Amur Leopards to survive, but also to mate. The genetic pool available for mating is really small, so Amur Leopards are dying off. Unless immediate actions are taken, it is tough for the Amur Leopards to survive on their own.

Amur leopards diet is mainly made out of meat (any animal that they can find).
Amur leopards are currently threatened by shrinking prey tracts and the illegal wildlife trade
No, amur leopards are not extinct, but they are critically endangered. There are estimated to be around 100 individuals remaining in the wild, primarily in Russia and China. Conservation efforts are in place to help protect and increase their population.
