The African leopard is a powerful and elusive big cat, known for its striking golden coat covered in dark rosettes. Found across diverse habitats in the sub-Saharan Africa, from savannas to forests, it is a master of stealth and adaptability. Leopards are solitary, nocturnal hunters with incredible strength, capable of dragging prey heavier than themselves into trees to avoid scavengers. They feed on a wide range of animals, making them essential to the ecological balance. Despite their adaptability, African leopards face threats from habitat loss and human conflict. As symbols of grace and agility, they remain one of Africa’s most iconic predators.
