Endangered animals
In this PowerPoint I shall
do about the Leopard…
The leopard is a member of the cat family
and the smaLLest of the four “big Cats"

The loss of leopard declines in
population, the cat has been
downgraded to “Near
Threatened" species…
The leopard has quite short
legs and a long body, with a
large skull.
SIZE



Leopards are medium-sized cats found in a
range of colours from pale yellow to grey to
chestnut.
A leopard's shoulders, upper arms, back are
marked with dark spots in a rosette pattern,
while the head, chest and throat are marked
with small black spots.
Large black spots cover the leopard's white
belly. leopards are common, especially in dense
forests.
.LIFE.



Leopards can live up to 20 years of age!
Leopards are found throughout most of
Africa and Asia.
In the country they are usually found in a
variety of habitats including forests,
mountains, grassland and deserts.
FOOD

Leopards eat small hoof stock such as
gazelle, impala, deer and wildebeest. On
occasion, they may also hunt monkeys,
rodents and birds.
BEHAVIOUR




Leopards are nocturnal animals.
During the day, they rest in thick brush or
in trees.
Leopards prefer to live alone. They are
very agile and good swimmers. They are
able to leap more than 20 feet.
It has the ability to move at up to
approximately 60 kilometres (37 miles) an
hour!
THREATS



Threats to a leopard are human poaching.
People kill leopards for mostly their skin.
People use their skin for lots of
things…like jumpers, on their shoes or
even on handbags!
ITS FAMILY.



As I have said that for most of the year leopards
live alone.
The only time when leopards are together is
mating season when the female leopard is
looking after the cubs they will live with their
mother until they are nearly full grown.
When the Leopard’s meet each other and except
each other during the mating season, they stay
together only until the Male has mated.


Cubs take 90 to 105 days to be born.
Nobody knows how many cubs are born
at a time.
POPULATION



There are not many leopards left in the
world.
This is due to people poaching for skin or
their teeth
They would use this to make valuables or
ornaments.
