Printouts Leopards are widely-distributed wild cats that live in rain forests , woodlands, plains, deserts, and shrubby areas. They are found in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, parts of China, India, Siberia, and Southeast Asia.
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.
