Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the most widespread and adaptable big cat, and are found in almost every habitat, from desert to rainforest. Leopards are widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, but populations have been reduced in western and northern Africa. There is a relic population in the Middle East and Russia. Populations have also been reduced throughout Asia, but still range from India and China south through the Malay Peninsula to the islands of Borneo, Sumatra and Java.
Leopards have fared slightly better than other big cats, due mainly to their wide distribution and amazing adaptability. Although they are amazingly tolerant of human activity and persist where other carnivores cannot, they have been extirpated from approximately 37% of their African range. Populations in North Africa, the Middle East and Russia are now Critically Endangered!
