African Leopard

About African Leopard

Leopards are solitary cats that hunt mostly at night, using extraordinary stealth and strength. They can haul prey twice their body weight into a tree. Unlike lions, they don't share territory willingly. Each leopard maintains a home range of 5 to 80 km². In East Africa, the Masai Mara and Serengeti have the most reliable sightings, especially along rivers where they rest in trees during the heat of the day. The 'Big Five' refers to the five most difficult animals to hunt on foot in the 19th century, and leopard was considered the hardest.
