The original leopard is closely related to lions, tigers, and jaguars. They live in different parts of Africa, Central Asia, India, and China. However, today many of them are endangered especially out side of Africa.
The leopard spends alot of its time up in trees, and so it often also hauls his kills up there keeping it away from hyenas and other scavengers. The black spots on his coat also blends in well with the leaves in trees.
When human settlements are present the leopard often attacks dogs, and sometimes even people.
They are also strong swimmers and will eat fish or crabs. The females can give birth at any time of the year usually giving birth to two cubs. The cubs stay with the mothers for 2 years, other wise all leopards are solitary animals.
