'''Leopard''' is a kind of felid [[Friend]].
The '''Leopard''' is a type of felid [[Friend]] who first appeared in the original Kemono Friends [[Kemono_Friends_(2015_Mobile_Game)|mobile game]].
|appearance=Leopard has amber-coloured neck-length hair fading to off-white at the bottom, with brown spots on the tips of her ears and the hair covering her forehead. Her eyes are a similar, albeit more yellow amber. She wears a white shirt under a fawn sweatervest, with a leopard-patterned tie. This leopard-skin pattern, as one would probably expect, makes up a large part of her attire; her long gloves, pleated skirt, thigh-highs, boots and tail all sport this pattern.
|appearance====Standard Design===
The standard Leopard design has amber-coloured, neck-length hair which curls up under her ears, where it fades into an off-white at its ends; additionally, there are five brown spots on her middle bangs. Atop her head are leopard ears, with amber fur bearing brown spots; likewise, she has a leopard's tail out of her lower back. Her eyes are yellow.


Her EX design has shorter hair with two white pigtails, omits the vest and replaces the tie with a red bow. Her boots also have black laces instead of the original's light brown bow.
She wears a short-sleeved white dress shirt under a fawn-brown sweater-vest, and sports a leopard-patterned tie. As one might expect, this leopard pattern makes up a large part of her attire; she wears long gloves, a knife-pleated miniskirt, thigh-highs, and boots which all bear this pattern. The amber colour of her thigh-highs fades into an off-white as it moves from the thigh to the feet; her boots follow this trend, and are off-white as a result. They are tied with caramel-brown bows.
===EX Design===
The EX Leopard design has longer hair that is tied into two pigtails of a more definite white than her counterpart's off-white. The brown spots on her middle bangs number six instead of five, and are differently arranged; additionally, her left and right bangs feature five brown spots apiece. She wears a similar white dress shirt, but the fawn-brown vest is omitted, and her leopard-print tie is substituted for a red bow. Her boots are higher, reaching about halfway up her thigh, and have black laces. Like her pigtails, they are more starkly white compared to the off-white of the standard design.

Home to a wide range of habitats across Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the Leopard is one of the larger "big five" cats. The Leopard has a similar build to the Jaguar, but smaller and lighter. It's fur is characterized by rosettes, which act as camouflage while it hunts. The rosettes are similar to those of the Jaguar, but are smaller and more closely packed. The Leopard is known for its strength, which it uses to drag prey and carcasses into trees. It is able to run up to 58 kph, and its long tail helps improve its agility and balance.  
Inhabiting a wide range of habitats across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa- savanna, rainforests, mountains, grasslands, even temperate forests- the elusive leopard is one of the five members of the family ''Felidae'' that finds itself classified among the ''Panthera'' genus, alongside the lion, tiger, jaguar, and snow leopard. The distinctive fur of the leopard is characterized by its rosettes, which act as camouflage while it hunts. It is also notable for its long tail, which helps improve its agility and balance both on the ground- where it is able to run up to 58kph- and in the trees it so often climbs.


Like many cats, leopards have acute hearing and eyesight which they rely on for hunting. They are opportunistic ambush predators, sneaking as close to a mark as possible- often aided in doing so by their camouflage- before pouncing, targeting either the back of the head or neck for smaller prey or going for the throat when taking down larger animals. Leopards are by no means picky eaters; their prey menu includes wild pigs, antelope, deer, porcupines, primates, rodents, and other small-to-medium-sized animals, and they are known to scavenge carcasses. Their most-preferred prey items are ungulates, such as impala and the aforementioned antelope.


 
Leopards bear immense neck and upper body strength, which are used to drag their meals into trees; lugging prey items upwards of 40kg (88lbs.) vertically up a tree is little trouble for one of these big cats. The main reason this is done is to secure the food for itself; kill theft is commonplace in the animal kingdom, and large carnivores such as tigers, lions, and hyenas, as well as pack hunters such as African wild dogs and dholes, have little to no issue chasing a leopard away from its food. The other reason is to avoid becoming a food item themselves; leopards are often not apex predators within their ecosystems, and lions and tigers alike have been documented killing and eating both juvenile and adult leopards.
The Leopard is an opportunistic animal, and will eat most of what it comes across. This includes wild pigs, antelopes, deer, porcupines, and other medium sized animals. Leopards take advantage of their acute hearing and sight for hunting. Larger sized prey can be dragged several hundred meters in order for the Leopard to hide it in a tree. Using their strength, Leopards can even haul animals larger themselves, such as giraffes, into trees. Often, Leopards must compete with other larger cats, such as Tigers, Lions, and Cheetahs, as well as Hyenas.  
|trivia=* Leopards and jaguars are often confused for one another due to their similar patterns. However, their distinctions are in fact numerous.
 
** Leopards and jaguars do not inhabit the same range; leopards are found in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, while jaguars are found primarily in Central and South America.
The Leopard has also adapted to a wide variety of habitats, which range from savanna and rainforests, to temperate forests in the Russian Far East. Leopards tend to avoid deserts and areas which experience lengthy snow.
** The rosettes found on a leopard's pelt are smaller and more tightly-packed than those found on a jaguar's pelt.
** Due to their semi-arboreal lifestyles, leopards have notably longer tails than jaguars do; if the animal's tail seems it would drag considerably on the ground when left limp, it is more likely a leopard, and if it seems only the tip would drag, it is more likely a jaguar.
** Jaguars possess bulky heads and rounder faces than leopards, whose heads and faces tend to be more lithe.
* Although the ''Panthera'' genus is often believed to contain the five largest members of the ''Felidae'' family, this is not quite the case. The leopard is indeed the fifth largest of the ''Felidae,'' but it is smaller on average in all of weight, length, and shoulder height than the non-''Panthera'' cougar- the fourth largest of the ''Felidae-'' which belongs to its own genus, ''Puma.'' Additionally, the snow leopard ranks only seventh, being smaller than both of the aforementioned as well as the non-''Panthera'' cheetah, which like the cougar also belongs to its own genus: ''Acinonyx.''
** Though both are members of the ''Panthera'' genus, and both are called "leopard," the leopard and snow leopard are very distinct, being no more genetically similar to one another than either is to the other members of ''Panthera.''
