Originally, leopard was thought to have been created by a mutation of a pure bred leopard which was said to have lived on the famous Transvaal ranges in South Africa when they were not threatened with extinction as previously thought. The actual source of this leopard is now thought to be a domestic cat which was later hunted for its fur. The cat was finally killed because of over hunting which led to the over population of leopards. Some believe that a hybrid strain of leopard was created through a mixture of several breeds of cats that lived in Tanzania at the time.

Because of their popularity, leopard is now widely produced clothing items that can be worn by people of all ages. They are often sported by athletes during sporting competitions and even worn as everyday wear by celebrities who travel frequently. There are even shops around the world that specialize in selling leopard suits, shirts and trousers to individuals who like to be in style and to people who just want to look fashionable.
