Leopard

A female leopard gives birth to 2 or 3 kittens, which she hides from other predators for the first 8 weeks. The maturation process takes approximately 2 years, during which the leopard cubs learn to hunt on their own, after which they leave the family.

The leopard is one of the big cats of Africa and ranks second in size in this company, second only to the lion. The leopard is also included in the "African Big Five" along with lions, elephants, rhinos and African buffalo. The habitat of leopards is very diverse: from impenetrable storm forests to semi-deserts.
