On the cover of this book is a picture of an Amur leopard. They live in Siberia, China and Korea, and there are 40 left in the world. Meet 21 animals that are almost gone, four animals that are gone forever, and three animals that are making a comeback. There are beautiful illustrations of the endangered species and interesting facts about each one. Where do these animals still exist? Take a look.
