About
The African leopard is a solitary big cat subspecies built with a compact, muscular body for stalking prey.
This subspecies is significantly smaller than an African lion, with a lower build adapted for stealth and climbing. Males are typically much larger than females and can weigh up to twice as much. Despite its relatively modest size compared to other big cats, it has immense strength and can carry prey heavier than itself up into trees.
From Wikipedia
The African leopard is the nominate subspecies of the leopard, native to Africa. It is widely distributed in most of sub-Saharan Africa, but the historical range has been fragmented in the course of habitat conversion.
