 Rosette Spotted Beauty: The Leopard With its glassy pale yellow eyes, rosette spots that grace the expanse of a beautiful fur coat, a wholesome package of great agility and good swimming ability, the leopard is truly distinct in the cat family. Commonly known for their hunting prowess and ability to climb trees and hide preys' carcasses there, this animal is surely fascinating. It was assumed that there were 27 subspecies before 1996. However, mitochondrial analysis determined that there are eight subspecies of leopard including African leopard, Persian leopard, Indian leopard, Javan leopard, Indochinese leopard, Sri Lankan leopard and the critically endangered Arabian and Amur leopards. In Africa, we find the subspecies, African elephant (Panthera pardus pardus), commonly in the regions of Western, Eastern, Central and Southern Africa.
