WHAT IS THE LEOPARD? HABITAT: Leopards are often found along riverine forests and bushes. They also can be found along open plains and savanna, mainly in hills and rocky outcrops. It is rare to see them in an open field. Leopards are master of camouflage and they move silently trough the vegetation to attack their prey at very close quarters. The victim is normally killed with a bite on the back of the neck, and then taken up a tree, where the leopard will feed at leisure, away from scavengers.

It also shares some characteristics of the extinct Sabre-Tooth Cats as it has the longest canine teeth in relation to its size of any carnivore on earth. However, it is not any more closely related to the Sabre-Toothed Cats than any other cat is. The Clouded Leopard is not closely related to the Leopard, nor indeed to any other species of cat.

Someday I would like to go to a zoo and see a real leopard . I wonder what the fur feels like. Maybe they purr like my nan's cat Phoebe.
