Leopards are powerful, adaptable big cats known for their spotted coats and climbing ability. They are found in various habitats across Africa and Asia and are the smallest of the “big cats” in the genus Panthera. Leopards are solitary, predominantly nocturnal hunters, and are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting.
Leopards have a pale yellowish to dark golden fur with dark spots grouped in rosettes. Their coats can vary in color depending on their habitat, ranging from tawny in dry areas to reddish-orange in forests. They also have a lighter underside. Black leopards, also known as black panthers, are a melanistic form of the leopard.
