Flickr group: pic of the day – leopard Jun 6 2008
Leopards (Panthera pardus), according to the World Conservation Union, are found widely in Africa, as well as parts of Asia and the Middle East. They are the smallest of the cats of the Panthera genus, which includes lions, tigers and jaguars.
They are classified as belonging to the “Least Concern” category, despite widespread loss of habitat. This is attributed to their adaptable nature and opportunistic hunting nature. They live in a wide range of habitats, from sub-tropical forest to desert.
