Chinese leopard
The term “Chinese leopard” refers to any of the following three leopard (Panthera pardus) subspecies present over several regions within China:
- the Indian leopard (P. p. fusca) occurs as far north as southern Tibet, in the uppermost reaches of its natural range; it has also been recorded in Qomolangma National Nature Preserve.[1]
- the camera-traps in Hunchun National Nature Reserve.[2][3] Leopards and other Siberian wildlife freely roams between China, Russia and North Korea using the Tumen River, despite a tall, lengthy wire fence marking the international boundary.[4]
- the Pearl River is thought to form a natural border to the leopard populations farther north.[5]
