Leopard

To the leopard, Panthera pardus, trees serve as resting place, sometime hunting ground, and food storage facility. Leopards may store their dead prey in trees, keeping it out of scavengers’ reach. Leopards hunt alone and at night, focusing on smaller animals that are less desirable to competitive predators such as lions, hyenas, and tigers.
