Occasionally, leopards attack humans, as well as pets and livestock. As populations increase and people begin to live closer and closer to the leopards natural habitat these attacks have increased. Leopards are simply protecting their territory and hunting for food, which is natural for animals. We can limit these attacks by stopping deforestation and protecting the natural habitats of wild animals.

Leopards are ambush predators; they crouch low to sneak up to their prey and pounce before it has a chance to react, according to the Animal Diversity Web , a database maintained by the Museum of Zoology at the University of Michigan. A leopard will kill its prey with one swift bite to the neck, breaking it. Leopards have a gestation period of approximately three months and typically give birth to a litter of two to three cubs in a den, according to PBS Nature.
Each cub weighs just 17 to 21 ounces to grams at birth, is blind and almost hairless. They depend on their mother for food and do not leave the den until they are 3 months old. At 12 to18 months, the cubs are ready to live on their own and at 2 or 3 years old will create their own offspring. Leopards live 12 to 15 years in the wild and up to 23 years in zoos.
Leopard characteristics are recognized in their classification as catlike carnivores suborder Feliformia and as roaring cats genus Panthera.
