Leopard facts that will leave you amazed

Learn some wild and wonderful facts about one of nature’s cleverest big cats.

Leopards live in many places, like Sub-Saharan Africa, India, China, and Central Asia.

They can run up to 58 km/h and jump 6 metres.

Leopards live alone. They mark their area with scents, scratches, and poo to keep others away.
