Leopard


  
Animal State | Leopard | Leopards are agile and stealthy predator. Males are about 30% larger than females with a weight of 30-91 kg (66-200 pounds), compared to 23 to 60 kg (51 to 130 pounds) for women. The subspecies of leopards tiny as a whole, the Arabian leopard (P. p. Nimr), from the deserts of the Middle East, with adult females of this race with a weight under 17 kg (37 lb). Other major means by which males can weigh up to 91 kg (200 lb), the Sri Lankan leopard (P. p. Kotiya) and the Anatolian leopard (P. p. Tulliana). These leopards are more likely in areas that tigers and lions are missing and so are the leopard atop the food chain, without restriction of prey big contest, the largest leopard checked 96.5 kg (213 lb) weighed. The leopard, the body is relatively long, and its legs are short. Leopards show a large diversity in coat color and rosette. Your roses are circular in East Africa but tend to be square in southern African and Asian populations increased. Their coat tends to be paler yellow and cream desert to the population, more gray in cold climates, and a darker shade of gold in the rain forest habitats.


Leopards are sometimes found with two other big cats, the cheetah, with which they are able to coexist in Africa, and the Jaguar, a Neotropical species that are not naturally coexist with confused. However, the pattern of spots are in every sense: the cheetah has some black spots simple, uniformly distributed, the Jaguar has spots inside the rosettes polygonal, while the leopard is usually round, smaller than the rosettes the jaguar. The cheetah is built has longer legs and thinner than the building look slimmer and taller, but less powerful than the leopard. The Jaguar is built like a leopard, but is generally larger and has a muscular, bulky appearance. In ancient times, a leopard was believed to be a hybrid between a lion and a panther, as evidenced by its name, a Greek connection λέων leon (lion) and πάρδος pardos (male panther) will. The Greek word is a Sanskrit word पृदाकु pṛdāku (snake, tiger, panther) and is probably used by a Mediterranean language, such as Egypt.


Black Panther refers to leopards with the gene that melanin is not uncommon in tropical forest habitats. The generic component of modern scientific name, Panthera Pardus, comes from Latin via Greek πάνθηρ (Panther). Leopards have the largest distribution of any wild cat, occurring largely in Eastern and Central Africa, although populations show a downward trend and are fragmented outside of Africa south of Sahara. In sub-Saharan Africa, the species is still numerous and even thriving in marginal habitats disappeared, where other large cats. Leopards live mainly in grasslands, forests and riparian forestsLeopards are elusive, solitary and mainly nocturnal. 


Activity levels vary with the type of habitat and prey they hunt. Radio-tracking and scat analysis in West Africa showed that rainforest leopards are more likely day and twilight. Forest leopards are also specialized in prey selection and exhibit seasonal differences in activity patterns. Leopards are known for their climbing ability was known and observed resting on tree branches during the day, take their prey on trees and hang it there, and down trees head first. Depending on the region, leopards may mate all year. Cubs are usually born in a litter of 2-4 young.
