HUNTING TALE
This formidable cat demands respect.
There’s a good reason the leopard is considered one of the Big 5, despite much larger competition. No predator is more adaptable, more agile, more fierce or more capable. A fearful adversary when wounded, he is likely to charge and is lightning fast over short distances.
They are efficient hunters, often striking from above and capable of killing animals far larger than themselves and then effortlessly dragging them up an impossible to climb tree away from scavengers below.Vital Statistics

Distribution
From mountain forests to arid scrubland and from mountain to coast, leopard are the most adaptable of large African mammals. Once endemic across central and southern Africa, loss of habitat and persecution from farmers has severely impacted populations. Leopard are most at home in semi-grassland with ample game, plenty of trees and rocky areas where they can breed in peace and snooze the day away.
