A complete documentary about the life of a leopard, from cub to adult, and its mother. There are also scenes concerning other wild animals. This documentary is well done and complete. Be aware that the end of the "story" is sad as the mother, which anyway was 11 years old at the time, was killed by a lion. Even if this is part of nature, I found it sad for an end of such a beautiful documentary, so I prefer to advise the viewers.

AMUR LEOPARD, support at: http://www.amur-leopard.org . With 30 in the wild, it is the most endangered big cat species on Earth. ALTA is implementing a wide series of projects to save the species


2) Human threat
Habitat loss.
Killed for commercial reasons (fur ...), leopard-human conflict, hunt for fun. Kept unfree (zoos..., in small cages without vegetation + exhibited all day to another species). Used as tourist attractions. Petted. And surely others...


3) Small description
opportunistic hunt, adaptability to habitats, max speed 58 kms/h (36 mph), ability to climb trees even with heavy carcass, stealth.
Its habitat ranged from rainforest to desert terrains. Elusive, solitary and largely nocturnal, it had to compete for food and shelter with predators such as lions, tigers, spotted hyenas, African & Asiatic wild dogs.
