*************

The North Chinese leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis) is a leopard subspecies native to northern China, and has been classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN since 2002.^[1]

Its prey base consists of deer and wild boar, but like any leopard it will eat almost anything it can catch including birds, rodents and even insects.

This leopard is a similar size to its southern cousin the Indochinese leopard, however their coats are darker almost orange in colour. The rosettes are also darker, smaller and closer together with the possibility of spots being within the rosettes - a trait more often familiar with jaguars rather than leopards. Their fur is also relatively long when compared to other leopard subspecies. The average weight in the wild is 50 kg (110 lb) for adult males and 32 kg (71 lb) for females.

The range of this subspecies is well fragmented today but it once ranged from Central China from Lanzhou to the north to the mountains south of the Chinese Gobi Desert, and to the east through Harbin.
