Information
The
leopard is most easily recognised by its patterned coat
and extremely long, darker tail. This large cat is sometimes
confused in appearance with the South American Jaguar
- the leopard though is less stocky and unlike the jaguar,
its markings are generally smaller and have no internal
spots.
The overall size of the leopard depends very much on the
subspecies and location, with the largest animals growing
to a length of nearly 5 feet with an additional tail length
of some 3 feet - generally the male is between 20-40%
larger than the female.
