The Amur leopard is solitary. Nimble-footed and strong, it carries and hides unfinished kills so that attacked animal is not taken by other predators. It has been reported that some males stay with females after mating, and may even help with rearing the young.
Several males sometimes follow and fight over a female. They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years. The Amur leopard is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard.
