Wild animals like tigers, wolves, lions, and leopards are carnivores, which means their physiology and evolutionary adaptations are geared towards hunting and consuming meat rather than digesting plant material. Their digestive systems are designed to process proteins and fats found in animal flesh, while their sharp teeth and claws aid in capturing prey. While they do not eat plants, these predators rely on herbivores that consume plants, thus indirectly depending on plant life for their survival. Therefore, while they can thrive without directly eating plants, their existence is inherently linked to the health and availability of plant life in the ecosystem.

How do leopards know who their family is?

Pheromones. This is a smell given off by the animals. Related animals will give off similar smelling pheromones, thus preventing inbreeding. When leopard populations are isolated though, such as the Amur Leopard, they have no choice but to inbreed. When animals are isolated pheromones play less of a role over the pure instinct to procreate and survive.
