The Brink of Extinction: The Most Endangered Animals in the World

There are thought to be only 60 amur leopards left on the entire planet making it the rarest and most endangered large cat left on earth.
With their gorgeous coats and fluffy tails, amur leopards, which dwell in the vast forests of Russia and North East China, have certainly been targets for hunters over the years, but today their population is mostly threatened by habitat loss.
