African Leopard
The African leopard (or Panthera pardus pardus) is the nominate subspecies of the leopard, native to Central and Southern Africa.
It has a slender build with an elegant head. The base coat colour ranges from yellow to dark golden and is covered in small, tightly spaced rosettes that turn into black spots towards the lower body, face, and tail tip. The underside and inside of the legs are white.
The African leopard is sexually dimorphic, with males being larger and heavier than females. Males are 60cm to 70cm tall at the shoulder, 1.52m to 1.83m long, with an extra 66cm added by the tail, and weigh 58kg to 96kg. Females stand 55cm to 65cm tall at the shoulder, are 1.39m to 1.67m long with a 60cm tail, and weigh 24kg to 37.5kg.
