Leopard(Chui) is the fourth largest cat after the tiger,lion and the American Jaguar..Leopard occur in the different areas all over Africa and in South Asia except in the desert...Males are lager than females and in males scrotum can be easily seen hanging below the anus....
A leopard is a solitary animal and is more nocturnal than lion and leopard spend the day time resting and hidden in thick bush,rocks,caves,burrow or sleep on branch of tree and kills are taken up the tree to avoid food competition with other animals and feeds on gazelles,impala,warthog,monkey,birds,hares,rodents,baboon and even dogs
Leopard is solitary or in pair during mating season and Gestation Period is about 3 month and the litter size is 1-3 cubs but it is very unlikely that all the cubs would survive in their lifetime because the mortality rate in the young are very high and leopard live up to 15 years...
The best place where one is likely to encounter a leopard is Lobo and Seronera valley in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania...
