Leopards, Most Dangerous Big Cats

The most basic and most famous leopard facts are usually related to the domestic cats. In America, most people know that cats are of big use to keep small kids safe in the house, as most are predators that kill small children. In other places around the world leopards are known for being great hunters, which explains why they are often used by hunters. There are other leopard facts that most people are aware of, such as the fact that these big cats also live in the rain forests, where they hunt prey like monkeys, and sloths. They are also able to dig very quickly, which makes them a useful addition to any home security force.

Among some of the other leopard facts, one of the more interesting ones concerns the two subspecies of the big cat. Dubbed as Asian Leopard, and African Leopard, the subspecies are genetically quite similar. However, the two differ in appearance, which is largely related to their habitat. While they share habitat across most of Asia and most of Africa, they have different ranges due to their unique environment and diet. In fact, the recent study has suggested that genetics may play a vital role in explaining why some leopards have darker skin than others, and the reason why some are much larger than the others.

One of the other interesting leopard facts that many people are unaware of is the fact that leopards have killed at least 400 human deaths since 1900. This figure comes from the Sumatran Wild Leopard study conducted by a group of conservation specialists and scientists from Malaysia, China, Russia, United States, India, and Indonesia. Their research revealed that leopards were the largest killers of humans in the study.
