Leopards are graceful wild cats.

Leopards are nocturnal in nature and are quite majestic in their movements. They are also excellent swimmers.

Leopards are members of the Felidae family, commonly known as the cat family or feline family and the sub-family of this magnificent big cat is Pantherinae. The spots on a Leopard's body resemble a rose; hence they are called rosettes; these rosettes are dark in color.

Black leopards are often confused with black panther because of similar body coloring. Leopards are mainly carnivores and feed on other animals.

Leopards are one of the endangered wildlife species. As the leopard population is decreasing due to habitat loss and poaching, leopards are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.

Leopards are being hunted by people for medicinal practices and ornamental purposes. People like African chiefs, European queens, Hollywood film stars, and burlesque dancers used leopard skin as popular decorative clothing and as a symbol of power, wealth, and exotic life.

Leopards are territorial animals; they prefer living alone. Leopards have been a part of human history and have been featured in art, mythology, and folklore; according to Greek mythology, God Dionysus used leopards for transportation.

The names for a leopard can also be a great name for your Bengal cat. That is because both of them belong to the feline family.  Take a look at these leopard names. Or for more cat name inspiration, take a look at Tiger Names and Names Meaning Lion.
