Leopards are a threatened species due to loss of habitat, loss of prey, and over-hunting. Leopards are fast runners, good swimmers and excellent tree climbers. They often hide their food in trees. The leopard's call sounds like a raspy cough, not a roar. Leopards live up to 21 years in captivity.
Males are larger than females.
Cubs are gray when they are born. They hunt a wide range of mammals, reptiles, birds, crabs, and fish.
