When people think of leopards, they often imagine a leopard running fast through the hot grasslands of Africa. However, the amur leopard is a very rare species that lives within the Russian Far East. The Russian Far East has temperate forests and harsh winters. This cat has adapted to live in these conditions. Their thick, distinctly patterned coats, long legs, and long tails allow them to thrive and survive in these environments. These leopards are known for their swift, quiet walk and their strength. This allows them to hunt alone and eat species like deer, wild boars, hares, and badgers. However, as human populations continue to increase and developments rise, the thriving habitat of the amur leopard is decreasing. This is a result of humans' unsustainable logging, forest fires, road building, farming, and other forms of activity. The impact of humans has put this cat on the critically endangered list, as there are only approximately 70 of them left on the planet. What detail could be added to the paragraph to support the author's point that amur leopards are under threat due to human activity
