Leopards have adapted to many different environments because of their physical traits. They have spotted coats that help them blend into grass and trees. Their bodies and long tails help them climb trees and balance while moving through the forest. Leopards also have amazing senses. They can see well at night, smell prey from far away, and hear even small sounds. They are very skilled hunters and can catch animals much bigger than themselves. While taste is not their strongest sense, they can still tell what they are eating. Leopards usually live alone, which reduces competition for food. Their habitats are under threat from deforestation, which destroys homes, and human-wildlife conflict, which puts them in danger. Climate change also affects their environment and prey. Protecting forests, limiting hunting, and supporting conservation programs help leopards survive. Zoos and wildlife groups study leopards to protect them and their habitats for the future.
