What’s
pawin’ everybody? We’re here to meow
more about the Amur Leopard which is a good thing considering there is 24 more
days until Christmas and this cat seems to just suit the season, right? Paws-onally I think the Amur Leopard would
probably have all of his shopping done by now.
You know for sure that they have their selection of trees and they
probably are pawing around smelling like pine.
Pawing along…
It seems like that the Amur Leopard is
one of the faster cats. He’s been
clocked
at 37 mph. Now that’s interesting. I don’t know about you but I don’t remember
seeing an Amur Leopard run that fast.
Those Amur Leopards that you happen to get a glimpse of on tv (if you’re
lucky) usually look like they’re just prowling.
Come to think of it with that kind of environment (in Russia) when would
there be a time for the Amur Leopard to take off?
Good question…
When you get down to this, an Amur
Leopard takes off in short spurts. They
are also great swimmers which is meowy cool.
Now, if you go to a zoo you might see a tiger in water but Amur Leopards
would be something to see. When would
they need to swim? Well, I’ll have to
get back to you on that one but as for the running, it seems like that Sika
Deer would be the time to see them take off at
30+
mph. It’s only logical but as for the
running- this will be a continuing ‘tail’ as well. We’re speculating as of now.
What’s really meowy about the Amur
Leopard is that they can make your imagination roll. Think about it for a second-you know that
they roam through forests and that they adapt to the cold. But they are cats that, at one time, you
could find them on mountains, steppes, etc.
What does this mean in terms of imagination? Well, you have to wonder what kind of big
cats they run into. And, remember they’re
still in tiger territory. What would
happen if these two met? Are there good
stories about that, out there?
Tons of good questions here and we’ll
keep working on that. Remember we’re not
hardcore scientists. We collect and
share the information. The Amur Leopard
is a cat of not just rarity but imagination.
You can’t help but be intrigued by what they do. And remember, the key to finding out more
about a specific animal is starting with basics.
And on that note- we’ll meow with you
next week!
