What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?
Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!

The jaguar is found in the Americas and the leopard is found in Asia and Africa. The jaguar is slightly larger than the leopard and has larger spots. jaguars are also stronger than leopards.

The leopard and the jaguar are both members of the genus Panthera. The other living members of this genus are the lion, tiger and snow leopard. The leopard may be the most closely related to the jaguar of the five species, but that is still a matter of dispute.
Leopards are smaller and more lightly built than jaguars. The leopard's spots are smaller and more densely packed than are those of a jaguar.
Although both are descended from Old World cats, the modern jaguar lives only in America and the modern leopard lives only in the Old World (Eurasia and Africa).
Jaguar vs. Leopard
The leopard is found across Africa, Asia, and the Amur region of Russia. Jaguars are found in all of south and central america, and in recent years, north to the U. S. border with Mexico in Texas, as well. The jaguar has a shorter, more stocky build than the leopard. Also, the jaguar tends to have larger rosettes with spots in the middle; the leopard has plain rosettes with no central spot in the middle. In addition, jaguars have a much broader forehead and wider jaw because they kill their prey differently than leopards. Unlike other big cats, jaguars kill prey by crushing the spinal column and must have a much stronger bite in order to do so. This means that the shape of their skull is unique among the cat species. As a result, they have the strongest bite-force of any member of the cat family--even stronger than lions and tigers.
The jaguar weighs twice as much on average than a leopard.
Leopard is African and an animal of scrub and open grassland dotted with trees. Jaguar is American, an animal of dense scrub and forest and is larger and more massively built than a leopard.

Jaguars are more robost and more heavily built, more muscle.
What are some threats to a Florida Panther?
The Florida race of the mountain lion, called "Florida Panther", was threatened by inbreeding, and loss of habitat, which in turn caused many conflicts, most of all collisions with cars. The cats were down to around 30 in the wild, when researchers released 8 Texas cougars, all female, which is a race very closely allied to the Florida race, to help with the inbreeding problem. There are now over 85 panthers there now, and measures are being taken to decrease the numbers of auto fatalities to them by building crossways beneath highways for them to cross safely.
Is a leopard stronger than a man?
well if you were to put a MALE leopard with a LIONESS (female lion) it would be a tough call but the leopard would cause more damage to the lioness than the lioness would do to the leopard but the leopard would not win the lioness will!

Black panthers are a variety of leopard, and like all leopards they have sharp retractable claws and fangs; if attacked, they usually try to run away (and they run very fast!) or to climb up a tree. But if they are cornered, they can fight ferociously and rip their enemy to shreds. Not many animals would want to mess with an enraged black panther!

Black panthers are not the biggest cats, but they have strong muscular bodies, powerful jaws, and long and sharp teeth. They also have a very good sense of smell and exceptional hearing.
Black panthers are not a species unto themselves, but melanistic specimens of the jaguar and leopard.
