Picture Trivia

         The leopard (scientifically known as Panthera pardus) is a large spotted member of the cat family (Felidae) native to Africa and Asia. Do you know that leopards once inhabited much of Europe? They did, but became extinct there near the end of the Pleistocene, some 10,000 years ago. The oldest known fossils of leopards are from late Pliocene deposits (about two million years old) in India and southern Africa.

          Leopards are endangered throughout their distribution due to loss of habitat and natural prey, and hunting.
