|
| The Leopard is normally a solitary animal except during mating season. Leopards are powerfully built big cat. Leopard hide in thick bush or up a tree during the day and hunt at night. They prey on a large variety of animals and birds from Francolin to Guinea fowl and Tortoises to Impala, Waterbuck and Wildebeest. Baboons and monkeys are also particularly favoured by leopard. Prey is killed by breaking the neck and then the carcass is carried up a tree to keep it out of reach of scavengers such as Hyaena and Jackal. | |
