Description
Common Name: Leopard
Common Name Synonyms: Spotted Panther, Old World Spotted Panther
Scientific Name: Panthera pardus
Size: 45-80cm tall in the shoulders, 80-160cm from snout to tail-base + 65-120cm long tail = 145-280cm long from snout to tail. Females are 25-50% smaller than males
Classification: Feliform
Habitat: Savannas, Grasslands, Jungles, Deserts, Arctics, Forests, Swamps
Diet: Carnivorous; diet consisted of insects, deer, antelopes, gazelles, cattle, rodents, monkeys, apes, chimps, gorillas, hyraxes, pigs, giraffes, okapis, zebras, donkeys, birds, jackals, aardwolves, other leopards, cheetahs, cucumbers, and melons
Description: Not all leopards are not apex predators of Africa, India, China, and Russia for example, some are apex predators in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and some parts of Africa where no lions are present. Leopards had been the most widespread of the big cats, lived from the savannas of Southern Africa, to the arctics of northeast Siberia. They are often confused with the cheetah, however, the cheetah is marked with small round spots, with tear-drop markings between the eyes and muzzle, instead of rosettes, which the cheetah is more closely related to a puma, while the leopard was marked in large rosettes, like a jaguar, but leopards had no central spots inside their rosettes. Leopards are closely related to lions and jaguars, than to most of the spotted cats that are not in the Panthera lineage, because of their genetics, and evolutionary traits. In deep jungles of Central Africa and South Asia, that leopards are born black, which they are little black panthers. Classically that black leopards are often called, "Black Panthers." Rarely that black leopards had whitish spot on their tails and ears, like their spotted counterparts. Black leopards are among the popular cats, because of the series of Tarzan(which it does feature the black panthers, does it?), and of Rudyard Kipling's the Jungle Book series, included the character Bagheera(some people depict that Bagheera is mostly a male black leopard, others depict that Bagheera is a female, because of the Russian TV series of Maugli. Depicting that Bagheera is a pseudo-melanistic, or common spotted leopard, was extremely rare.). Some leopards are endangered species, including the large Persian, North Chinese, and even the Sri Lankan, others are critically endangered, like the small Arabian, Amur, and Javan leopards. Leopards are arboreal, so they can climb trees. They can drag big prey to the trees to eat the prey, in order to prevent predators to reach it, like jackals, wolves, wild dogs, hyenas, tigers, and even lions. The predators of the leopard, besides the poacher humans, are lions, tigers, and hyenas. In Ingitiszoa, had depicted that domestic panthers(Panthera pardus domestica) had been descended from leopards, used for hunting, race, searching, show, and as pets. But enough about our fiction domestic counterparts, moving on... Leopards had similar attacks to humans, like lions and tigers, for example. Man-eating leopards had poor dental health, which it's not good. Most leopards closely related to, and looked like clouded and snow leopards, but differences from the common leopards. They are known to be the smallest members of Panthera, after the snow and clouded leopards.
