Leopards are nocturnal and solitary creatures that are known for their climbing ability and their incredible hunting skills. They are adaptable and can thrive in various habitats, including rainforests, mountains, deserts, and savannas. Leopards are also known for their spots, which are unique to each individual.
Despite their beauty and grace, leopards are endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) are working towards protecting and conserving these magnificent animals.
