The Untamed Africa - Panthera

Leopard (Panthera pardus)

 

The greatest concentration of leopards now occurs chiefly in sub-Saharan Africa; there are also fragmented populations in Pakistan, India, Indochina, Malaysia, and China. Due to the loss of range and declines in population, it is graded as a "Near Threatened" species.

 

The species' success in the wild owes in part to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its adaptability to habitats, and its ability to move at up to approximately 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph). The leopard consumes virtually any animal it can hunt down and catch. (Source:Wiki)
