THE AFRICAN LEOPARD
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats," the other three being the tiger, lion and jaguar. There are nine recognized subspecies of leopard. All subspecies except the African leopard can be found in Asia, South Asia, and India.
Leopards are nocturnal animals, meaning they are active at night. During the day, they rest in thick brush or in trees. Leopards are solitary, preferring to live alone. They are very agile and good swimmers. They are able to leap more than 20 feet.
All African tribes regard the leopard as an animal that symbolizes all that is noble, courageous and honorable. It is called ingwe by the Zulus and Nkwe by the Basutos. These words originally meant ‘pure sovereignty’ or ‘pure kingship’. In very ancient times, a king who supposedly ruled over other kings among the Botswana tribes was called Nkwetona. ~~Comment copied from Ntaba Tours ~~
