The Leopards Habitat

• These leopards may have territories of up to 700
  square miles. Their territory size is dependant
  on the availability of prey, with less prey
  meaning larger territories. They usually live
  above tree line between 7,500 and 18,000 feet. 
  Their habitat at these elevations consists of
  rocky, treeless slopes.

Leopards Biome

• Temperate grasslands are composed of a rich mix
  of grasses and forbs and underlain by some of the
  world's most fertile soils. Since the development
  of the steel plow most have been converted to
  agricultural lands.
• Semiarid, continental climates of the middle
  latitudes (Koeppen's BSk climate type) typically
  have between 10 and 20 inches of precipitation a
  year. Much of this falls as snow, serving as
  reservoir of moisture for the beginning of the
  growing season. Warm to hot summers are
  experienced, depending on latitude.
• Perennial grasses and perennial forbs especially
  Compositae (or Asteraceae, depending on the
  taxonomic system used) and Leguminosae--the
  sunflower and pea families, respectively are
  dominant growthforms. Two or more strata of
  grasses (erect grasses and recumbent species) are
  recognized in the more humid expressions of the
  biome.
• Perennial grasses, with their growth buds at or
  just below the surface, are well-adapted to
  drought, fire, and cold. The tiller or narrow,
  upright stem reduces heat-gain in the hot
  summers the intricate root systems trap moisture
  and nutrients. Two basic types are
• Turf- or sod-forming grasses, with rhizomes or
  underground stems from which new plants spring
  forth associated with the more humid grasslands
• Bunch grasses, without rhizomes, that reproduce
  by seed associated with the drier parts of the
  biome.
