Leopards and Panthers

There are a lot of leopards, but, we are not certain of how many of them are there. For example: there are approx. 23,664 leopards in South Africa. So they say.

Don't think they do much, they prefer slightly different habitats.

On top of that, adult gorillas would be difficult for a leopard to manage, and the young gorillas are fiercely protected by the adults.

If a leopard still would try to kill a gorilla it'd be for the same reason as a leopard kills anything - to get something to eat.

• Females mature faster than males and have been known to conceive as early as 18 months, but the average breeding age is 2-3 years.
• Though conception can take place anytime during the year, the breeding season generally falls between October through March, and kittens are often born in the spring.
• When the female is ready to mate she will leave special scent markings which signal the male, they will then search each other out, mate, & may stay and hunt together for a few days before going their separate ways.
• The gestation period is 92-96 days.
• Panthers usually produce 1 litter every 2 years with an average litter size of 1-3 kittens.
• The mother prepares a den, a dry sheltered place such as a say palmetto thicket or overhang, offering protection from rain & sun.
• Kittens are born blind, their coat is spotted and eyes are blue
• Eyes open within 2-3 weeks at which time they begin to walk.
• The kittens are able to sustain their energy and body temperature for 2 days, which is an amazing feat for an infant. She can leave the kittens for up to 36 hours and travel up to 5 miles to find food.
• Kittens are helpless and remain near the den for the first 2 months of life. They are weaned and introduced to meat at 6-8 weeks, which the mother will bring back to the denning area.
• The first 6 months of the kittens' life tends to be the most dangerous. Panther kittens have a better chance of survival in a fertile area with thick vegetation for cover & large prey close to home.
• When the kittens are old enough they will travel with their mother to learn the hunting and survival skills they will need.
• At 4-6 months of age the markings begin to fade the coat become a buff color and the eyes turn from brown to pale gold.
• At 18 months they are capable hunters and will shortly leave their mother, however they may continue to travel together for a time. Eventually they will separate in search of their own territory.
• Once a territory has been established, the boundaries must be marked and maintained.

Yes because the leopard is one of the most beautiful animals in the world. For this reason they are targeted in the fur trade industry. The fur industry is a great threat to all leopards, but an even greater danger is livestock owners who live close to the protected parks and reserves. They use widely available poisons to kill the leopards in an attempt to save their livestock. Overall the outlook for the leopards species is pretty good. However, many of the subspecies are in great danger of extinction.

There are several subspecies of leopards, but the closest to extinction is the Amur leopard. The Amur leopard comes from the Chinese-Russian border and North Korea. This is a very beautiful cat and is often compared to the snow leopard. It is estimated that there are only about 20 Amur leopards left in the wild. There are about 114 living in captivity where they are involved in breeding programs. Hopefully this will help the population rise and keep them from going extinct.

because they are amazing creatures and if we dont have them anymore then others wont be able to expierence or learn about them.its just not fun reading about them.

jaguar no question. while one might think the ambush type leopard the more cunning for its high stealth and strategies for attacking prey without detection, the bruiser type jaguar surprises. while the jaguar is a tank that is built to take and deal a lot of damage over an extended fight it posesses an array of psychological techniques to overcome prey. if looking for an easy snack a jaguar will emit an extremely low frequency roar that has been known to paralyze howler monkeys with fear. they fall out of the trees and voila. and while both cats are solitary hunters, there have been exceptions and jaguars do seem to posess some proficiency in team tactics

The answer is

No leopards do not hunt together they hunt alone and you may be asking why don't leopards hunt in packs well the reason why leopards are solitary mammals and prefer to hunt alone and stay alone.

no

Anywhere from 100 to 225 pounds but usually maintain a consistent weight of about 150 to 175 depending on the amount of proteins they take in daily. In most cases the female will weigh more than the male unlike in lions where the male is dominant over the female.

The full grown anaconda will win. Although the cougar will bite savagely that won'tstop the deceptively quick & incredibly strong anaconda from wrapping itself aroundhim and slowley sqeezing the life out of him.

Zebras are pure and exclusive Herbivores. They feed almost entirely on the grasses in their habitat. Occassionally they may feed on shrubs, herbs, twigs and even bark. They spend most of their time walking around their habitat in search of fresh grass and water. Like all herbivores, they also have a requirement to drink water atleast once every day.

They stalk there prey and wait patiently for the right moment. Then they go for the kill. After that they eat the meat and chew on the bones like dogs do.

Head and body, 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m); Tail, 27.5 to 36 in (70 to 91 cm) Weight: 100 to 250 lbs (45 to 113 kg).

No, Randy is not catholic. In Rand there is a street named church drive, and we honestly have a church on each corner! He may have sometimes attended Levi First Baptist Church(Rand known as Levi turn of century). However, Maxine worked hard, and had to work everyother weekend, so was most unlikely able to take him to church on a regular basis. I am sure she taught her children about God, Jesus, and morals. But Catholic, no way. Debi from Rand, who remebers Randy as a snotty nosed kid, playing football in the church yard.

Bears are omnivores meaning they eat meant and plants. They usually stick to plants, fish, and stealing meat from other animals and rarely have to hunt for food. Bears can and will eat a mongoose but it's not something on their usual menu.

Lions

Although Leopards most commonly feed on monkeys, they have been known to eat snakes. Their snake of choice is the enormous Python.

Metric is a system of measurement - there is not a specific measure called a metric so the question does not make sense.

Not unless in a zoo. The only wild cat found there now is the bobcat, which is never black. The puma was found there in the past, but they are never black either.

Really?? Don't imagine you live there, do you?? There certainly are black panthers in NC. Most specifically, in Western NC. I have had them scratching at a garage door, leaving a lot of damage. We hear them screaming at night. A friend of mine lives way up in the mountains, away from "civilization" and they see them often and hear them all the time. Live in la la land if you wish but if you ever join the real world and are in NC look out for panthers. They DO exist and they exist in our backyards .... not just zoos!

If you are of a people who are endemic to Asia, then you are Asian

However, Americans tend to use the term Asian to only refer to East Asians. On the other hand, British tend to use the word Asian to refer to South Asians (ex. Indians, Pakistanis, Afghans).

No. Leopards (Panthera pardus) are a species found in Africa, the Middle East and southern Asia.

You would however, find jaguars (Panthera onca) which are a bit smaller than leopards but look almost the same.
