Leopards are the least social, and perhaps the most beautiful, of all the African big cats. They usually keep to themselves, lurking in the dense riverine bush, or around rocky outcrops, emerging to hunt in the late afternoon or at night.
The leopard is a graceful animal with an elongated body, relatively short legs and a long tail. After the lion, it is the next-biggest African cat. Leopards in the wild may live up to 15 years. Unlike the lion, the leopard is a silent creature, only occasionally emitting a cough-like call.
