A motorist spotted the world's rarest leopard, an Amur leopard, in northern China.

Video filmed in the city of Hunchun in Jilin Province on November 3 shows a motorist named locally aa Zhang encountering a solitary Amur leopard wandering in a forest on the side of a road.

According to Zhang, he saw the leopard walk across the road and enter the forest.

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Amur leopard is the most endangered big cat on Earth. There are thought to be only around 120 adults left in the wild. Their habitat is under threat from logging, forest fires and road and industrial development, the charity says. It adds: "The Amur leopard can run at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour. This incredible animal has been reported to leap more than 19 feet horizontally and up to 10 feet vertically."

11月3日下午三点多，吉林珲春，张先生开车偶遇东北豹在树林里踏着落叶踱步。
张先生称，当时其与朋友下班回珲春市区的山路上，看到一只东北豹横穿马路，感觉它有一两百斤，非常胖。东北豹看起来非常淡定，过马路后接着在林间散步，踩得落叶沙沙作响，看起来非常的漂亮。张先生还透露，开车离开后不远，还发现了两位拾柴火的老人，并对他们进行了提醒。
