The leopard is a member of the cat family. like all cats, it is a carnivorous or meat-eating animal. its sharp, scissor-like back teeth and retractable claws are the leopard's principal weapons, used for catching its prey. these together with is powerful body, strong legs, its acute sense of hearing and a pair of large eyes with excellent vision, make the leopard an efficient hunter. like human fingerprints, he spots on a leopard's coat are unique, and each cat may be recognized by its individual markings. the thickness of a leopard's coat, the degree of spotting and the variations in coat color are indications of its particular habitat and the climate it inhabits. for example, leopards found in cold, mountainous areas of northern china, have long thick coats. the middle eat leopards have light coats with large spots while the malay peninsular leopards are mostly black, providing excellent camouflage in the thick tropical rain forests. except for brief periods of courtship, mating and motherhood, the leopard is nearly always solitary. when a leopard reaches adulthood, it shuns companionship; doing everything on its own. it also spends much of its days resting alone in trees, climbing down only at twilight to hunt. leopards are remarkably adaptable to all kinds of environment and climate. they are found in africa, southern asia, the middle east and the far east. their willingness to eat protein in almost any form, ranging from tiny beetles to wildebeests several times their own size, accounts for their remarkable ability to survive and even thrive. water is surprisingly not a necessity for the survival of the leopard. it is able to obtain sufficient moisture from the blood of its victims.
