Amur Leopard Case Study

UR LEAPORD: (Far East Russia) critically endangered.
1. Boreal Forest Climate- Taiga Biome
2. Winters are long and incredibly cold. Temperatures can get as low as -14 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a summer season, but it is short and the temperatures are still relatively chilly. Annual precipitation rates are rather small, averaging around 12 inches. Precipitation usually increases during the summer months.
3. During Kansas’s hot and humid summers, I imagine the Amur Leopard would be incredibly uncomfortable. Its coat was designed to undergo harsh winter temperatures. Even a cool fall day in Kansas would be warmer than any temperatures it would experience in its natural habitat. The Amur Leopard would be hiding in the shade to keep cool …show more content…

In the thick of Kansas’s hot and humid summer days, the Colobus Monkey would feel right at home. It is used to rainforest temperatures where humidity averages between 77%-88%. In warm weather, the Colobus Monkey could most likely be found swinging from branch to branch within its exhibit. When temperature start cooling off, and the winter air becomes dry, it would be more likely to be keeping warm in the back of the exhibit. For the Colobus Monkey, snow would not be appreciated.

PARMA WALLABY: (Australia, forests of New South Wales)
1. Dry Tropical Climate- Desert Biome
2. In this desert climate, precipitation is rare. The annual rate is about 0.1 inches. Any participation that occurs with quickly evaporated in the hot and dry conditions. Weather and temperature conditions hardly very between seasons. There is a desert-like climate year round.
3. The Parma Wallaby is not used to any precipitation. Though desert temperature can become quite cool, it is very dry air. A snowy Kansas day is both cold and wet. I imagine this animal would want to avoid this type of weather at all costs. Not only would it be hiding in the back of its exhibit, it would probably nested in an even smaller enclosure to keep warm and dry.

SPOTTED HYENA: (Africa, south of
