The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a magnificent and agile big cat found across various regions of Africa and Asia. Known for its strikingly beautiful coat adorned with rosette patterns, the leopard's appearance allows it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, aiding in its stealth as a master hunter. Leopards are incredibly adaptable, thriving in diverse habitats such as grasslands, forests, mountains, and even urban areas. They are solitary and elusive creatures, primarily nocturnal, and are known for their ability to climb trees effortlessly, often hoisting their prey into the branches to avoid scavengers. Despite their strength and adaptability, leopards face threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
