Nobody knows.
Leopards are felids in the genus Panthera. The last common ancestor for animals in this genus is generally believed to have lived about six and a half million years ago. Leopards appear to be related to lions, tigers, snow leopards, jaguars, and clouded leopards, but the exact details are not entirely clear.
They're more distantly related to the other felids (cats, cheetahs), and even more distantly related to other feliforms like hyenas and mongooses.
One thing that makes it tricky is that fossils of all felids tend to look pretty much alike, with the most notable distinction usually being size, and there are a number of extinct species which must have looked very similar to cats despite being rather more closely related to kangaroos.

When Did people realize that taxonomy was related to the evolutionary tree?
1858
What is represented by the branch points of an evolutionary tree?
Branch points on an evolutionary tree represent common ancestors from which two or more different lineages diverged. They indicate where species or groups shared a common ancestor before evolving along separate paths.
What tree is a model developed by scientist and used to illustrate relationships between animal phyla?
The tree you are referring to is called a phylogenetic tree. It is developed by scientists to show the evolutionary relationships between different animal phyla based on their shared characteristics and genetic information. These trees help to understand the evolutionary history and relatedness of different organisms.
Contains only closely related organisms?
A clade is a group that includes an organism and all its descendants that share a common ancestor. It represents a branch on the evolutionary tree of life.
What kingdom is placed at the bottom of the phylogenic tree?
The kingdom placed at the bottom of the phylogenetic tree is typically the most ancient or primitive kingdom, which is Monera (bacteria). This placement reflects the evolutionary history and divergence of life on Earth, with more complex organisms branching off from simpler ones.
What can lead scientist to change an evolutionary tree?

Can you mix a leopard frog with a tree frog?
I did and they were fine. If the Leopard frog is very large and the tree frog is very small you have the chance of losing your tree frog.
How do you interpret an evolutionary tree?
like a boss
Instead of using a family tree scientists use a tree to track the evolutionary history of a species?
Yes, scientists use a phylogenetic tree to depict the evolutionary relationships between different species. This tree shows how species are related through common ancestors and provides a visual representation of the evolutionary history of a group of organisms. The branches on the tree represent the evolutionary split points where new species have arisen.
What to do if you climbed a tree to escape an elephant but then find out there is a leopard on that tree?
stop crying
How can the evolutionary history of a species be displayed?
The evolutionary history of a species is often displayed in a phylogenetic tree. This will clearly show the history of the species, which is also known as phylogeny.
What is phylogeny?
I think you mean phylogeny. Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of related species.
What is an evolutionary tree how is this different than a family tree?
An evolutionary tree, also known as a phylogenetic tree, illustrates the evolutionary relationships between different species or organisms based on their shared ancestry. It shows how species have evolved and diverged over time. On the other hand, a family tree typically depicts relationships between individuals within a family, showing their direct lineage or kinship.
The evolutionary history a species can be displayed in a?
Phylogenetic Tree
What is Diagram that shows evolutionary relationships?

Can a leopard drag an eland up a tree?
yes
What are two problems with evolutionary tree diagrams?
Evolutionary tree diagrams may oversimplify complex relationships between species, leading to misinterpretations of their evolutionary history. The placement of species on a tree may be influenced by the choice of genetic markers or algorithms used, potentially leading to different trees and conclusions.
