The leopard habitat is found in many different countries of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia and many others. This beautiful animal can be found in many parts of North America, as well as Central America and South America. It is the most popular and most widely hunted wild cat and is also considered endangered in some parts of certain portions of its native habitats. Because of the endangerment status, it is illegal to hunt this species in certain parts of the continent, including the state of Illinois.
The leopard is the fourth most popular fur coat among wild cats and is used for coats worn by elite hunters throughout the world. The leopard’s coat is so thick that it does not lend itself to easy grooming but instead requires intensive bathing and hair dressing on a regular basis. The typical leopard coat ranges from color to brown, with black and brown markings common. There are various subspecies of the leopard, including the leopardess (sometimes referred to as the desert cat), leopard mackerel, leopard snow and leopard mountain cat.
Some people have begun to raise leopards for trade, and breeding purposes, which has led to some genetic problems in some breeds. There is some leopard habitat conservation in India, with some parks and sanctuaries being established to promote leopard habitat. In addition, the world has become known as a hunting enthusiast for some varieties of leopard, which are now protected in their natural habitats. Although big game hunting is still done, more so as a sport, than as a necessity of life. With the protection of the leopard habitat, big cats will once again be able to roam freely across the continents and fulfill their natural role as prey animals.
