LEOPARD 
( Felts /tardus ) 
The Leopard being smaller than the Tiger, is far more lithe and 
ictive. Unlike the latter, it is, too, a good climber. The Leopard is 
holder and more courageous than its larger, striped cousin. If wounded 
it will charge time and time again with great savagery. 
The Leopard occurs over most of Asia except Siberia and high 
Tibet. The Asiatic Leopard differs from the African Leopard only in 
minor characteristics. In the jungle it lives on pea fowl, monkeys and 
many other kinds of small animals. •
