Leopard
Panthera pardus
An adult leopard is a solitary ambush predator found across forests, savannas, mountains, and scrub where cover allows a close approach. It hunts mainly at night or in low light, feeding on a wide range of prey from small mammals and birds to antelope and wild pigs. Leopards are strong climbers and often drag kills into trees to avoid scavengers. Their rosette-patterned coat is one of the best camouflage systems among big cats.
