The leopard is a large solitary cat that can grow up to 6-7 feet tall and weigh 200 lbs. They have tails up to 3 feet long and live in hot habitats, where the females give birth in caves. Leopards hunt medium-sized prey in trees and on the ground, using their sharp teeth, strong legs, and good sense of smell. They mate in winter and have black fur as cubs.
