Leopards are solitary living, peace loving and mysterious animals. They may be sometimes seen as couples during the mating seasons but mostly they like to live alone. They spend their time in sleeping on high trees during the day time and come out during night and hence has a better sight at the night hours. It also does this because it's more powerful enemies like Tigers and Lions hunt during the day hours.
