The leopard feeds mainly with boars and deer, and sometimes with birds and rodents. He hunts alone, at night, and always in ambush. He can make really high and long jumps, also can climb and swim. All that combined with his accuracy and speed and tactics of attack, almost always guarantees him food.

The leopard hides his food from hyenas and other animals by leaving it on trees. Usually he never attacks humans, but sometimes there are human casualties. Sometimes they even get to populated places and attack cattle.
Leopards, colloquially known as black panthers, are the smallest of the four so called big cats. Leopards are either all black or mostly dark in color and are located in Asia, Africa and parts of Europe. But what do leopards eat. This article will answer the question what do leopards eat .

The main diet of leopards are ungulates and monkeys, although they have been known to eat over 100 species of different animals. Some of the more common foods eaten by leopards include rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. Leopards have also been known to eat small insects such as dung beetles and large animals such as 800kg giant elands. Pythons are also occasionally eaten by leopards.
