Their rosettes of spots are faintly visible, and sometimes fl leopards are born in the same litter as spotted leopards.

 Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank (Germany)
The development of the Leopard 1 originates from the decision to formulate an operational requirement for a new main battle tank (MBT) to replace the M47 and M48 tanks supplied by the United States that were both available in quantity and relatively cheap.
The Leopard 1 was built in a total of six batches ('Lots') by Krauss-Maffei AG in Munich with a number of tanks being built by Krupp MaK in Kiel as well.
The fifth batch of Leopards was built between 1972 and 1974 and included 232 tanks with a cast steel turret with thicker armour (designated 1 A2) and 110 tanks fitted with a welded turret with spaced armour and a wedge-shaped gun mantlet (designated 1 A3).

 The Incompossible Language of Natural Aristocracy: Deleuze's Misreading of Visconti's The Leopard
In The Leopard, Visconti is reading the time-image not as conquest or coming to essence, or degrading of a telos, but as maintenance of interiority, as life seen through the “self-interrogation of an aristocrat obsessed with the need to account for his own survival” (40).
In The Leopard, we see the “whole that is no longer the logos unifying the parts, but the drunkenness, the pathos which bathes them and spreads out in them […] a primitive language, an internal monologue” (43).
The Leopard is a sweeping yet detailed rendition of the essence of Sicilian aristocratic history and familial structures on the verge of change.

 Leopard Angelfish   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
There were no leopards, even thought the smokey zebra offspring had the same genetic makeup as that of their leopard father.
Crossing leopard with leopard, and raising the fry in an 8-hour day, would produce one-fourth zebras (double-dose zebra, without smokey), one-half leopards (double-dose zebras plus one dose of smokey) and one-fourth chocolate zebras (double-dose zebra plus double-dose smokey).
In summary, the leopard angelfish has two doses of zebra and one dose of smokey, and it is raised in a short day.

All Danish Leopard 1 were fitted with a dozer attachment channels on the lower front hull from the factory, and thus can be fitted with a dozer blade from Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann.

 Animal Info - Snow Leopard
Pakistan: The snow leopard occurs near the snow line in northern Pakistan in the districts of Swat, Dir and Chitral of the Northwest Frontier Province, Muzaffarabad district in Azad Kashmir and Gilgit and Baltistan districts in the Northern Areas.
Reasons for the snow leopard's decline include hunting for fur and as a trophy, killing by farmers because of its reputation as a livestock predator, and loss of prey due to man's hunting of the prey and competition of prey with domestic livestock.
Snow leopards typically inhabit rugged terrain such as steep slopes with bluffs, ridges broken by outcrops, and valleys interrupted by cliffs, with arid and semi-arid shrubland, grassland, or steppe vegetation.

These forces, together with the associated combat support (artillery, engineers, signals) and combat service support (logistics, maintenance etc) are based around two deployable brigades, 1 Brigade, which is primarily a mechanised formation, and 3 Brigade, which is a light, air deployable formation.
By the end of this process in approximately 2015, 1 Brigade will be the army's major mechanised formation.

The clouded leopard is a medium-sized wild cat found in the forests of Asia.
For this reason, clouded leopards are considered a member of the Pantherinae - a subfamily of the Felidae family that also includes lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards.
A clouded leopard’s tail can be up to 3 feet long (the same length as its body) and is extremely important as a balancing aid.

 Sympatric Tiger and Leopard: How two big cats coexist in the same area.
Since the tiger, leopard and dhole often live in the same areas and eat many of the same prey, we will expand this review to examine how all three predators differentiate themselves from each other in order to avoid resource competition and violent encounters.
Leopards at Nagarahole attacked 41% of their prey in the open, twice the frequency of tiger (19%); 28% of leopard kills were in short grass clearings compared to only 8% of tiger kills (Karanth and Sunquist 2000).
Leopard predation on dhole is reported from both Bandipur (Johnsingh 1983, 1992) and Nagarahole (Karanth and Sunquist 1995).
