Leopards or panthers live in Asia and Africa. Their fur is usually with spots but some are entirely black (Black panther). Leopards hunt by night; capture and kill deer or boars thanks to their vivacity (Leopards are almost as quick as cheetahs.), they eat then in trees on which they climb, thanks to their powerful paw muscles, and spend most of their time.
Some of leopards’ species like North China leopards are endangered.

Yaks are central-Asia bovids. They live on plateaux where they eat
grass and lichen. They resist quite well low temperatures: thanks to
their thick fur, they can live higher than eternal snows.
Domestic Yak is bred for meat, milk and transport. Savage Yak is however threatened.

Living in Asia (China and around Himalaya), Firefox eats kind of the same food as its cousin the Giant Panda. This quiet, nocturnal animal climbs easily the trees and spends most of its time eating and sleeping. Like a lot of terrific animals, it’s on IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) red list, thanks to poachers!
