leopard (Panthera pardus), formerly pard or pardus, also called panther, large cat closely related to the lion, tiger, and jaguar. The name leopard was originally given to the cat now called cheetah—the so-called hurting leopard—which was once thought to be a cross between the lion and the pard. The term pard was eventually replaced by the name leopard.
The leopard is found over nearly the whole of Africa south of the Sahara, in northeast Africa, and from Aisaminor throughcenterl asia and India to China and Manchuria. It varies greatly in size and markings. The average size is 50 to 90 kg (110 to 200 pounds) in weight, 210 cm (84 inches), excluding the 90-cm tail, in length, and 60 to 70 cm in shoulder height.
