Leopard is amongst the five presently known extant big cat in the genus Panthera, also a subspecies of Leopardus flavimaculatus, a species native to Africa. It occurs in an extensive distribution within sub-Saharan Africa, from west to east and south to north, in parts of Western and Central Asia, and even on the remote Indian subcontinent. Apart from the well known leopards of southern Africa like Leopardessiek, there are few other big cats native to Africa, with a distribution extending far beyond the country’s borders. Leopard is perhaps the most famous big cat in history with a variety of myths and legends surrounding it, mostly stemming from its appearance in tales and novels.
Legend has it that the story of lions first appeared in the story of “The Lions” by French author Antony and Cleopatra. In this tale, lions – then just known as La Menou or The Fighting Lions – appeared in the kingdom of Agrabah, and demanded the hand of a young Egyptian princess as her prize. However, when her father refused, La Menou used her powerful paws to force his hands and refused to let go of the young woman. Later, in another telling of this legend, the Egyptian princess locked her cat in a box, wishing to free him of his servitude. La Menou used her claws to break free her cat, and the two then became lovers.
Another popular story revolves around the hunt of leopards in sub-tropical Africa. Leopard killed more than a hundred of its prey over two hundred years ago, including lions, hyenas, vultures, zebras and crocodiles. The legend says that the hunter cam through a thicket of tall grass, spotted the leopards and killed them all in a single shot. It was only then that he felt the spirit of his kill, and as he looked at his body it burned with a fire similar to that seen in hell. Today, leopards are revered not only for their strength and courage but as magnificent cats, with their beautiful coats, long mane and tail, and agile bodies.
