Leopard

"Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper-tree
In the cool of the day, having fed to satiety
On my legs my heart my liver and that which had been contained
In the hollow round of my skull. And God said
Shall these bones live? Shall these
Bones live?"-Eliot

The Leopard is considered to be the hybrid product of the lion and the panther and it belongs to the group of the Four Big Cats. This animal is also known as the Jaguar, especially in South of America.

It is the biggest among the Big Cats and renowned to the world as the Jaguar, it is regarded as the most powerful feline animal in the world next to the Jaguars. It generally weighs 30-70 kg and the females are mostly 2/3 of the male counterparts.

Leopards are the primary predators in the area where there is no competition among the predators and they can prey according to their own free will in the wild Jungle. South Africa and Sri Lanka has the largest quantity of Leopards than any other places in the world.

They resemble the Big Cats and offer a pleasurable sight while we witness a picture of them, but in encounter they are fatal. Some Leopards like the North Chinese and the Amur variety. They are usually nocturnal in their habitat while the Cheetahs are generally diurnal so this is the distinction that divides them.
