Leopards are almost always solitary unless it’s a mother with her offspring, or two adults come together to mate. I’ve seen lots of leopards over the years, but only once have I seen more than one at a time and that was a mother with her almost-full-size cub. But as with most species, they do have a fun name for a group of them. Leopards are incredibly powerful jumpers, capable of launching themselves into trees or onto prey with sudden force, so “leap” fits the bill. I photographed this solitary adult male this past June in Kenya. To get your Leap of Leopards merchandise, visit Species Limited. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1400, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second.
The five in the above drawing have such a pleasant facial expression but in real life , I doubt it would be similar in reality. Is the animal shown adjacent to your name represent a leopard?
Ah, that’s a ringtail lemur in my logo. And yes, leopards are often described as the most beautiful of all the big cats. But certainly wouldn’t want to mess with one.

Enjoyed all these animal groups! Very cool info! Love our leopard we saw! 🐆
Thanks Ruth. We really did get quite a show with this handsome guy.
This is a great photo that shows movement, stealth. They are terrifyingly beautiful, and magical when you see them in the wild, unexpected.
Thanks Laura. And this was a rather large male. He put on quite a show for us.
