One of the most adorable residents of the Siberian forests is the Amur Forest Cat.
This elusive feline is a subspecies of the leopard cat.
Although its behavior is somewhat similar to that of domestic cats, its wild instincts dominate—making it impossible to domesticate.
The Amur Forest Cat lives a highly secretive life. Even today, scientists still do not know its exact population size, earning it the nickname “the Red Book Mystery.”
It inhabits the Amur River basin and coastal regions, and every photograph captured of this rare cat is considered a true treasure.
