Leopards live in Asia, Africa, and India. They are solitary animals that hunt at night for prey like monkeys and birds. Leopards can run up to 72 km/hr and have powerful legs and retractable claws. Females give birth to litters of 2-3 cubs in hidden places like caves or trees. Over 100,000 leopards remain but their numbers are decreasing due to conflicts with livestock and hunting.
