Leopard

The leopard is one of the most iconic big cats, found across Africa and parts of Asia. Known for its distinctive spotted coat, the leopard is a master of stealth and adaptability. It inhabits diverse environments, from dense jungles to arid savannas and even mountainous regions. Leopards are solitary and territorial animals, primarily active during the night. Their diet is diverse, ranging from small rodents to large antelope, and they are known for carrying their prey into trees to protect it from scavengers. Unfortunately, habitat destruction and poaching threaten leopard populations, making them a focus of many conservation efforts.
