One of the five primary “big cats,” the leopard is a member of the genus Panthera and is found throughout sub-Saharan Africa as well as parts of Asia. There are nine known subspecies of leopard found throughout the world, although the African leopard is by far the most widespread.
History: Although leopards are classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN, they thankfully enjoy the ability to adapt to many different regions and habitats. While they are suffering from habitat loss and fragmentation, they are able to somewhat adjust and live in other areas. Still, they are the subject of illegal poaching and as a result their population numbers are declining.
