  1. Now it's my turn to be jealous :P. This is at the top of my list for animals I want to see in the wild, and I love the composition :) Posted 10 years ago
    1. Hahaha... :) I love leopards... for your best chance, come to Kabini... there is a saying about this park "If you don't see a Tiger, you'll see a leopard!".

      :) Thanks for the comment!

The Indian leopard is a leopard subspecies widely distributed on the Indian subcontinent and classified as "Near Threatened" by IUCN since 2008. The species "Panthera pardus" may soon qualify for the "Vulnerable" status due to habitat loss and fragmentation, heavy poaching for the illegal trade of skins and body parts in Asia, and persecution due to conflict situations.
