The Leopard, (Panthera Pardus), adapted to live in modern day Asian and African rainforests. Rainforests might be submerged underwater because of the rising sea levels in ten thousand years. That means the leopard will need to adapt to oceanlike rainforests with water everywhere. They might get darker fur to camouflage in water. Webbed feet will help them swim underwater. Stronger legs will help them move through the water. They'll get a small fin like other underwater mammals. Their stronger bones will help headbutt animals. Being hermaphrodites, as a new adaptation will make it easier to reproduce. Having a larger digestive system, to hold their breath longer underwater. This also can lead to eating larger prey with bigger mouths and stomachs. The tail will be much stronger and longer for whipping and attacking. Even though the evolved leopard spends most time under water, it still lives in the canopy like before.
