Amur Leopards
Amur Leopards are listed as, critically endangered
They are a rare subspecies, living in nature’s extremities
in the Amur-Heilong mountains, with a Russian landlord
and their genetic variation, is the lowest of any subspecies
They can survive in temperate forests and mountain regions
keeping south of facing rocky slopes, to avoid too much snow
but they can’t avoid the conflict, off the human foundations
having to enter the human domain, to find food and grow
Amur leopards are poached, for its beautiful spotted fur
and their territory is surrounded, by villages and agriculture
The villagers hunt their pray, but their prey is in defer
as the greed of money, is now a human culture
Amur Leopards can only live, ten to fifteen years in the wild
and 25 years in captivity, which only makes them riled
Let’s give back their territory, to increase their mentors
and advance their history, for these amazing carnivores
