Leopards are widely distributed. It is found from plains to high mountains at an altitude of 3,600 meters. Their nests are mostly in trees, meadows or caves. They don't like to change their shelter easily, sleeping in the nest during the day, going out at night to find food, and returning to the nest at dawn to rest.
Leopards are a very fierce carnivorous heart, but they often become the prey of tigers, lions. They all feed on mammals such as goats, wild boars, rabbits, roe deer, monkeys, etc., and sometimes go to the river to catch some. Fish to fill the stomach, they are mainly distributed in Asia and Africa to hold different origins, the color of the body is also different, so in the world there are Chinese leopard African leopard and other different names. At present, there are three species of Northeast leopards in China, south China leopard and north China leopard.
Leopard predation methods are mainly two, one is lying on the tree waiting for prey, this way is to hide themselves, so the general animals will not easily find their own head danger, but this way also has no easy, that is, there must be prey from under their trees, and many times there are many small animals to come to make trouble, such as squirrel monkeys, etc., they will scream, after the prey hears most of them are headless and do not return to escape, so most of this method is in the killing time, While sleeping, wait for the prey to come to the door by itself!
Leopards also have a method of predation, that is, sneak attack method, this method is often applied to the number of prey is relatively large, they have a strong sneak attack skill, when they find the prey, will be closer step by step, leopards and other cats, the feet have thick meat pads, almost no sound when walking, when the distance of the prey is very close to his hunting range, they will pounce on it, find the right time, bite the throat of the prey and do not let go, Then they will drag their prey to find a safe place to hide. Or hang on a tree and enjoy it slowly, because there are very few predators like them that they can climb to that high tree.
Leopards have a habit of lying down very much, and they will lie down for a long time, which is more or less similar to cats. Leopards don't wait until they're hungry to go out and look for food. Sometimes even if they have just eaten enough, they will go up to hunt when they encounter prey, but when they are not thirsty or hungry, they will spend more time on leisurely walks.
Leopard is a brave and fierce intelligent animal, so people sometimes use it as the embodiment of wisdom and bravery, leopard in our country is a first-class protected animal, leopard skin has a distinct color, the pattern is unique and beautiful and noble, although the international fur market has been strictly prohibited from selling leopard skin, but there are still many countries illegal hunting.
Leopard running speed is quite fast, among them. Cheetah is the fastest mammal on land, it can reach a speed of 110 kilometers per hour when running, and the explosive force is also amazing, he can sprint 100 meters in 4 seconds, the cheetah can be said to be synonymous with extreme speed, which is why there are so many cheetah-named cars in the world.
The small and slender head of the cheetah is mainly distributed in Africa. The whole body is yellowed, and there are many black spots on the body. Much more slender than other species of leopards, cheetahs prefer to live alone, only in pairs during the mating season, they often inhabit the jungle or dry areas of the Soviet Union, and when prey approaches, they will find the right time to pounce on it. They will catch up with their prey at an alarming speed and bite at it, and cheetahs are truly the king of sprints. However, although the speed of cheetahs is fast, they may not be successful in every hunt, because their endurance is limited, and after another rapid pursuit, if they do not succeed, they will abandon their targets, save their physical strength, and wait for the next opportunity
