Leopard
(Panthera pardus)
The leopard has more than 20 subspecies. It is one of the roaring cats, capable of producing a deep roar similar to that of the jaguar. The leopard is also like the jaguar in coat pattern, with dark spots or rosettes. Although the size of the rosettes varies over geographical region, leopard rosettes remain empty of markings while jaguars generally have one to four dark spots inside the open spots.
The leopards are dispersed over a wider area today, than that of any of the other large cats. Ranging across most of the African continent, with the exception of the Sahara Desert region. Throughout parts of Asia Minor and the Middle East to India, Pakistan, China, Siberia, much of mainland southeast Asia, and the islands of Java and Sri Lanka.
Wildlife artist Kathie Miller has captured this young hunter with colored pencils.
