Leopard walking | Oil Painting - Beauty in Motion.

Unlike lions, leopards do not live in groups. The adult males live separately, and the females live only with their cubs. They only come together to mate. 

They live in habitats where there are some trees. Leopards climb trees well, and do so regularly. They can carry prey up a tree and keep it safe from hyaenas and lions.

Trees are its main escape from attacks by lions or packs of dogs. It is an ambush predator, and operates best where it has some cover.

The most similar cat in its lifestyle is the jaguar, which lives in Central and South America.
