In honor of Endangered Species Day we interrupt our regularly scheduled Pet-Photo-Friday post to highlight this beautiful big cat, the Amur Leopard, on our awesome custom photo socks. 

 

A native to the Primorye and Jilin regions of southeast Russian and northeast China, the Amur Leopard was classified as critically endangered in 1996 due to poaching and habitat loss from agricultural and urban development. With help from the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance, the Phoenix Fund, and the Wildlife Conservation Society, the number of Amur Leopards has grown and today it is estimated that there are around 60 individuals living in the wild.
