Not unlike its patterned coat, the leopard's range consists of bands and blotches on the world map, covering much of Africa and numerous pockets of Asia. As solitary animals, different leopards have different habits. Many are nocturnal, covering nearly 50 miles a night stalking prey before they slump on a limb or log, dangle a leg or two, and lounge the whole day away. That could well be the case for our cool cat friend here—though this bespeckled beast may just be enjoying a siesta between day shifts.
