Amur leopards (Panthera pardus orientalis) are perhaps the most endangered carnivorans in existence today.
Only around 30 individuals still remain in a range that includes temperate forest and taiga in the Russian Far East, northeastern China, and North Korea. Their range partly overlaps that of the Amur (“Siberian”) tiger, which is also critically endangered.
As I’ve mentioned before, leopards like to eat dogs. The description on this video implies that preying upon dogs is a last resort for these leopards, but that is not really the case with leopards in other parts of Asia or in Africa. Dogs are actually a choice food item.
I don’t see why this rare subspecies of leopard would view dogs differently.
