They are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. Their habitat is forests and hilly area with rocky outcrops and hiding places, bushy areas and tall grass. They stalk monkeys in the trees at night. When game is scarce, a leopard will eat field mice, fruit, porcupines, baboons, or arthropods. They are known to kill by dragging it up into a tree to protect it from being stolen.
Most leopards are pale tan, and are marked with broken circles of black spots.
The Black Panther is my School's mascot. They can weight up to 198 lb. Leopards are strong enough to kill a large antelope, and are excellent tree climbers. Leopards are endangered species. It's Illegal to hunt them now.
