		We recently discovered the collar we had placed on the female snow leopard Bayad-e-Kohsaar in November was collecting and storing her GPS data but was failing to successfully relay this crucial information back to us via satellite.
		Capturing a further four snow leopards was never going to be easy, and the last 14 days both in and out of the field are testimony to this.

	Leopard - MSN Encarta
		However, by the 20th century, scientists had established that the leopard and the panther were anatomically indistinguishable from one another, and the name panther was officially dropped—all members of the species are now correctly known as leopards.
		The leopard’s coat and markings are similar to those of the jaguar, and both cats can be individually identified by their spot patterns and coat characteristics.
		Leopards are classified in the big cat genus Panthera, in which most scientists also include lions, tigers, jaguars, and snow leopards.

	Leopard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally, it was thought that a leopard was a hybrid between a lion and a panther, and the leopard's common name derives from this belief; leo is the Latin word for lion, and pard is an old term meaning panther.
		The leopard is closely related to, and appears very similar to, the jaguar; it is less often confused with the cheetah.
		Leopards do not have the spots within the rosettes that jaguars always have, and the jaguar's spots are larger than the leopard's (see the photographs in jaguar).

	Leopard
		The leopard hunts mostly on the ground, and is an excellent stalker, on average stalking 275m.
		Leopards are solitary, and the female’s range is usually exclusive, although this may be slightly flexible.
		Leopards are good breeders in captivity and are a lot more resilient in the face of growing pressures than either lions or tigers appear to be, making conservation programmes slightly easier.

		The Leopard was soon being purchased by a number of NATO members including Canada, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and Turkey, as well as by Australia.
		As the Leopard 1 was replaced in service by the Leopard 2, many of the otherwise serviceable hulls were used for various second-line duties.
		Almost as soon as the Leopard was introduced into service in 1965, Porsche was awarded a contract to study further upgrades to the existing machines, while waiting deliveries of the MBT-70 in the mid-1970s.

		A melanistic version, "fl panthers", of the leopard is common in many populations, especially in Southeast Asia where the low light conditions of the tropical forests floors seem to have a selective advantage for darker coat coloration.
		The leopard's remarkable adaptability to different environments is an indication that it is basically an unspecialized animal, favoring forest and forest boundary habitats where it can utilize trees for protection and observation platforms.
		Leopards seldom become man-eaters but a number of often exagerated tales of killer leopards is sprinkled in the literature.

	Leopard Fact Sheet (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Leopards are absent from Sumatra, perhaps because of the presence of tigers and six other species of felids, and from Borneo, probably because of the absence of a large ungulate prey base.
		Leopards range exceptionally up to 5,700 m where a carcass was discovered on the rim of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and are abundant on the highest slopes of the Ruwenzori and Virunga volcanoes.
		Although protected officially, leopards continue to be killed opportunistically and there are numerous reports of local people going to extraordinary lengths to kill leopards reported in their vicinity, organizing hunting parties which do not return until the leopard is found and killed.

	Leopard
		The leopard is a versatile hunter and generally nocturnal in its pursuit of prey - however the increased frequency of hunting found in the female raising young often leads to more opportunist hunting during daylight hours.
		In contrast, in the west and central forested regions of Africa the leopards prey consists mainly of the smaller antelope such as duiker, small monkeys and various rodents such as rats, squirrels and porcupines.
		Leopards have also been observed to ambush terrestrial prey by leaping down from tree branches, although this behavior is apparently opportunistic and relatively uncommon (Kruuk and Turner 1967); like other cats, they probably generally prefer to get their footing on the ground before launching the actual attack.

	African Forest - Leopard
		Leopards in deep forest and mountain tend to be darker, while open grassland leopards will be lighter in coloration.
		The total population of leopards in the wild is estimated at around 100,000, but in many areas their numbers are declining because of loss of habitat, hunting for pelts, and bushmeat hunting.
		Their rosettes of spots are faintly visible, and sometimes fl leopards are born in the same litter as spotted leopards.

		Leopards are mainly nocturnal animals but are also seen during the day, especially in the early mornings and late afternoons.
		Leopards are very good tree climbers and can pull large prey up a tree to protect it from other predators or scavengers in the vicinity.

		The leopard is the typical yellow cat with fl spots we think of as a leopard.
		Leopards have been found to live in a wide range of environments, from savannas and semi deserts to mountains, swamps, and woodlands.

		LeopardS; The Leopard, or Panther as it is sometimes called, is an elegant, long-bodied cat with a proportionally smaller head, sturdy legs of medium length and a long tail, more sinuous in its movements than the heavier bodied lion and tiger.
		Leopards are found in a wide range of habitat, from desert to savanna and forest.
		Leopards have been heavily hunted for their fur, and loss of habitat and natural prey has increased predation on stock (and sometimes attacks on people) leading to further killings.

		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.

		The clouded leopard has a remarkably long skull for a cat, with well developed crests for the attachment of the jaw muscles and extremely large canines, when compared with other living felids.
		The clouded leopards canines are not bladelike, as in the sabertooth cats, nor are the lower canines reduced in size.
		The clouded leopard's long canines appear to have evolved for killing larger prey, such as deer and wild pigs, although birds and smaller mammals are suspected to make up much of the diet.
