leopard (Panthera pardus)


LEOPARDESS AND YOUNG. Here is shown a Leopardess in repose, enjoying the playful sport of her young ones, yet keeping watch
for anything that may endanger them, and at the same time for any luckless animal tnat may serve for a convenient meal. The spots on the fur
are the main distinguishing feature of this animal, extending as they do from the round head and short neck to the tip of the long tail. The
youngsters are having a good time, a characteristic of all Kittens whether they belong to Pussy or a stately Leopardess. (Fells tardus.)
Date 1895

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the four 'big cats' of the genus Panthera. The leopard is a member of the family Felidae with a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Leopards have the largest distribution of any wild cat, occurring widely in Africa as well as eastern and southern Asia.
