Leopards are widely-distributed wild cats that live in rain forests, woodlands, plains, deserts, and shrubby areas. They are found in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, parts of China, India, Siberia, and Southeast Asia. Leopards are a threatened species due to loss of habitat, loss of prey, and over-hunting. Leopards are fast runners, good swimmers and excellent tree climbers. They often hide their food in trees. The leopard's call sounds like a raspy cough, not a roar. Leopards live up to 21 years in captivity. Anatomy: These graceful, medium-sized cats grow to be about 3.5-5.5 feet (1-1.7 m) long; the tail is 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 m) long. Adults weigh from 65 to 175 pounds (30-80 kg). Males are larger than females. Some leopards have dark rosettes on a black background, making them appear black; these leopards are called black panthers. Cubs are gray when they are born. Diet: These large cats are carnivores (meat-eaters). They hunt a wide range of mammals, reptiles, birds, crabs, and fish. They hunt mostly at night; they are nocturnal.
Leopards are primarily nocturnal although they have occasionally been seen hunting during daylight hours. They normally rest during the day. See Related Links.
slow loris's are not nocturnal. they catch their prey in the day, however they eat it at night so no other animals can steal it from them, this also keeps them safer as theyre eating it in their own teritory with their large quantitys making it hard for carnivores to get in and hunt them.

Lions are considered nocturnal, because they often sleep during the hot day. But this is not always true. When hungry, lions will take prey of opportunity. Many lions would be considered mainly crepuscular (hunting around dawn and dusk).
