  of colours from pale yellow to grey to chestnut.
• A leopard's shoulders, upper arms, back are
  marked with dark spots in a rosette pattern,
  while the head, chest and throat are marked with
  small black spots.
• Large black spots cover the leopard's white
  belly. leopards are common, especially in dense
  forests.

• Leopards can live up to 20 years of age!
• Leopards are found throughout most of Africa and
  Asia.
• In the country they are usually found in a
  variety of habitats including forests, mountains,
  grassland and deserts.

  impala, deer and wildebeest. On occasion, they

• People kill leopards for mostly their skin.
• People use their skin for lots of thingslike
  jumpers, on their shoes or even on handbags!

ITS FAMILY.

• As I have said that for most of the year leopards
  live alone.
• The only time when leopards are together is
  mating season when the female leopard is looking
  after the cubs they will live with their mother
  until they are nearly full grown.
• When the Leopards meet each other and except
  each other during the mating season, they stay
  together only until the Male has mated.

10

• Cubs take 90 to 105 days to be born.
• Nobody knows how many cubs are born at a time.

POPULATION

• There are not many leopards left in the world.
• This is due to people poaching for skin or their
  teeth
• They would use this to make valuables or
  ornaments.
