Explanation:
The Amur leopard is one of the most critically endangered animals with the world population of just about 84 individuals in the protected wild areas.
Reasons for endangerment:
- Illegal wildlife trading especially for their rich fur.
- Shrinking of prey tracts due to poaching of their prey animals like roe deer, sika deer etc., which makes it difficult for the Amur leopards to find food.
Habitat: Currently only found in the temperate forests of Far Eastern Russia, in the Primorye region and along parts of northern China.
Diet: Amur leopards are nocturnal carnivores and hunt their prey. They mostly hunt and survive on Siberian roe deer, wild boar, Sika deer, badger, and pheasant.
Weight: A male Amur leopard weighs around 32-48 kg while the females can weigh up to 75 kg.
Lifestyle: Amur leopards are mostly solitary carnivores and mammals. They are not symbiotic and stay at the top of the food chain. They have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years.

A natural monopoly is a market situation in which a single firm serves the whole market, therefore it is the only producer of a certain good or service, due to the fact that there exist some natural conditions which establish huge barriers for new competitors entering in the market, in the sense of extremely large fixed costs.
In such a case there is no market competition, therefore the monopoly can decide on the quantity supplied and on the price of the products (usually establishing a much higher one that if there was competition). Such a situation is harmful for consumers. They purchase products at a higher price and with lower quality because, as there is no competition, producers are not forced to continuously develop and improve their products. This is why goverment intervenes, trying to soften the situation by decreasing the profits of the monopolists and increasing the welfare of consumers, and the social welfare.
