Lesson 15
Leopards, big cats!
Leopards are powerful and fierce big cats related to lions,
tigers, and jaguars. They live in Africa, Central Asia, India, and
China.
When they hunt large animals to eat, they
always
take the bodies
up to the trees, to keep them safe from hunters such as hyenas.
First
they walk cautiously in the branches, where their spotted coats allow them to
camouflage with the leaves.
Then
they jump to attack.
During
this process they act
always
silently and slowly.
Finally
they execute his prey. These nocturnal predators also hunt
antelopes, deers, and pigs by silent movements in the tall grass. When human settlements
are present, leopards
often
attack dogs and,
occasionally
, people.
Leopards are also good swimmers. In the water they
sometimes
eat fish or crabs. They
never
eat grass or vegetables.
Female leopards
always
protect their babies. They
always
hide them and move them from
one safe location to the next until they can play and learn to hunt. The babies live with their
mothers for about two years.
Leopards are light colored with characteristic dark spots that are called rosettes, because
they look like the shape of a rose.
