How big does a catahoula leopard bearded collie mix get?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well a Catahoula is generally a big dog, so if the collie was smaller, then the size of the puppies would be smaller.

I have two Catahoula Leopards/Spaniels. They are: male;75lbs female;50lbs.
They are smaller than the average catahoula, because of the spaniel they were bred with.


I would say a collie/catahoula mix would be the same, maybe a little lighter. (male;70lbs, female;45lbs.)

Where does the African leopard shelter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The African leopard is adapted to many habitats and so the shelters of the leopard is quite a huge range. Leopards like to drape over trees and catch prey while doing so, living in rocky surroundings and grassy shelters. When a leopard has cubs, it is very protective of them, as hunters like: * hyenas and * lions may hunt them while they are small and "bite-sized". So it is very important within the first few days of the cubs being born, that the group of leopards find a safe and shady place to stay while the cubs are growing and getting big enough for self defense. ----

What do leeches do to humans and animals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leeches are annelids comprising the subclass Hirudinea. There are freshwater, terrestrial, and marine leeches. Like the Oligochaeta, they share the presence of a clitellum. Like earthworms, leeches are hermaphrodites. Some, but not all, leeches are hematophagous.

Haemophagic leeches attach to their hosts and remain there until they become full, at which point they fall off to digest. A leech's body is composed of 34 segments. They all have an anterior (oral) sucker formed from the first six segments of their body, which is used to connect to a host for feeding, and also release an anesthetic to prevent the host from feeling the leech. They use a combination of mucus and suction (caused by concentric muscles in those six segments) to stay attached and secrete an anti-clotting enzyme, hirudin, into the host's blood stream.

Is a leopard smarter than a chimp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Parrots and chimpanzees share many common features, such as the ability to comunicate in context(use words/sign language and know what they are saying) In certain cases parrots in general, spcifically the African grey parrot exceeds the chimpanzee in intelligence. An African grey parrot can be taught that words are made up of different parts that can be rearranged to form new words while its believed that chimpanzees don't have that kind of understanding of the language.
