Mothers will use caves & hollow trees as dens to give birth in and will frequently switch dens to keep predators from locating and eating their cubs. Cubs are born with their eyes shut, and only open them after 4 days to a week and 2 days. At the age of 3 months, they will begin to follow their mother on hunts, and although they can easily survive on their own at the age of 1 year, they usually stay with their mom until they are about 1 and a half or 2 years old.
Leopards are excellent climbers and are known to sometimes carry their kills up to trees to deter other predators from stealing them. Indian Leopards are also strong swimmers, although they may not have as much of an affinity for water as tigers & jaguars do. Male leopards are known to kill cubs that aren't theirs to reduce competition.
