Types of Leopards

Leopards are my favorite animals. I have a love for animals and nature but more for these predators. I find them unique and unpredictable so i guess that's why i love them so much.

Leopards (the Silent Prowlers) belong to the cat family. They are successful hunters and adapt to new environments easily hence their survival across the continents. Leopards are endangered and there are 27 different species. Leopards are nocturnal animals. Leopards are being threatened by habitat destruction and humans moving into their territory. Their beautiful coat is a commodity fiercely sought after by poachers and, as with all endangered species, the leopards is fighting for are survival in the wild.

Please help save the leopards!!!
