A wild amur leopard has been photographed in China for the first time in over 50 years.
It's one of the rarest cats in the world and with only 50 individuals left in the wild the chances of running in to one are extremely remote. A Peking University researcher struck it lucky when his trail cam picked up the remarkable image of an amur leopard wandering past through the undergrowth.Sun Ge, the researcher, said the photograph had been a stroke of serendipity. "I am actually researching herbivorous animals in three forests around the county, and I had not expected to capture an image of an Amur leopard at all," he said.
