Hello everyone!

This is an exciting new chapter for r/leopards. I’ve recently taken over as moderator for this subreddit, which was previously inactive and lacked consistent moderation. My goal is to transform this space into the top online community dedicated to all leopards—covering every subspecies in the Panthera pardus genus, as well as the Snow Leopard and Clouded Leopards.

Here’s what you can expect:

Active moderation and regular updates
Regular focused posts about leopard subspecies, Snow Leopards, Clouded Leopards, conservation news, tracking research, photography etc. *A safe, respectful space for all leopard lovers, researchers, and enthusiasts.

I invite everyone to:

Share your favorite leopard facts or experiences, and let me know what you’d like to see here!
Post quality leopard videos, photos, documentaries, art, field stories, and questions
Help build a thriving, educational, and supportive leopard community.

This is your subreddit—let’s make it the go-to hub for leopard news, knowledge, advocacy, and appreciation! If you have ideas or want to get more involved, please comment below or message me directly.

Let’s give these beautiful cats the community they deserve!

— Moderator, r/leopards

According to a park ranger, the leopard attacked it on land in which it ran into the water and died. The leopard was still around the camp nearby. If you look closely you can see some claw marks on it's back. This happened in Loango National Park in Gabon.

African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) The incredible difference between a big male leopard and a female

gallery

• Upvotes

It is well known that male cats are bigger than the females. Some species have unique traits that differentiates them - lions having manes, tigers having ruffs and leopards having dewlaps.

However, in the leopard's case the results can be shocking to the point you're looking at a different species (early explorers in Central Africa actually thought this was the case!).
