North Chinese Leopards

Here you will find pictures of the endangered North Chinese leopards.

There are 2 North Chinese leopards at the WHF - a male called Tai'ri and a female called Atara.

As the name infers, the North Chinese leopard are found in China. It’s rage extends from Sichaun in southern China, north to Beijing. Their fragmented population are found mostly in isolated mountain ranges.

It is estimated there are approximately 2500 remaining in the wild, and there are fewer than 100 in captivity and only 4 in the UK with 2 of them being at the WHF. Nearly all the captive North Chinese leopards are found in zoos in Europe.

They are listed as endangered by the IUCN as their population continues to dwindle.
