C is for
Cat
Amur Leopard
Panthera pardus orientalis
extremely rare in the wild and also in captivity according to this source:
" With only 30 - 40 remaining in the wild, the Amur leopards are listed in international, federal and regional levels as critically endangered andare in immediate danger of extinction.
In captivity, the situation is also very serious, as interbreeding with animals of unknown heritage has affected a large percentage of the captive breeding pool. Because of this, of the 150 remaining in captivity only 12 are purebreds. " -
