Here are 5 intriguing facts about the leopard (Panthera pardus)
Lions are larger than leopards, but both of these great animals are among the largest on the continent of Africa. Because of its unique mixture of grace, power, and elusiveness, it is the most celebrated of the “Big Five” animals. Its frame is far heavier than that of the similarly-sized cheetah, and it is found in a wider variety of habitats, including lush rainforest and arid semi-desert. It also varies in weight, ranging from 40 to 90 kg.
