Leopard

Leopards (Panthera pardus), known for their adaptability and stealth, exhibit wide-ranging seasonal movements. These movements are usually driven by shifts in prey availability and environmental conditions. Leopards inhabit diverse ecosystems, from dense forests to arid deserts, and their ability to traverse various terrains allows them to survive in challenging environments.

During dry seasons, leopards often move closer to water sources, where prey is more concentrated. In mountainous regions, they may migrate between higher altitudes in summer and lower elevations in winter. Leopards’ natural migration routes are increasingly threatened by habitat destruction, underscoring the need for protected areas and wildlife corridors to preserve these elusive big cats.
