Leopards
Hello again! This is Sabine talking. Today our subject is the nocturnal wildcat... the leopard! Leopards, also known as panthers, are the smallest out of the four 'big cats', known as tigers, lions, jaguars, and the topic of this blog: leopards. This time, we're going to organize our paragraphs a bit differently than last time, but why bother telling you when you're just going to find out?
(Psst! Aidan here. The way we organize our blog this time is with subtitles above each paragraph)
Diet
Leopards eat small hoofed animals such as deer, gazelle, impala, and wildebeest. They also occasionally eat rodents, monkeys, or birds.
Habitat
Leopards live in quite a few places, including, wait a second, I have to draw a breath. Okay, ready, Africa, Asia, Soviet Union, India, the Middle East, China, Korea, and Malaysia. Their habitats are forests, mountains, grasslands and deserts.
Breeding
Baby leopards have a 90-105 day gestation, and when born, they stay with their mother for 18-20 months. Usually, about 2-3 kittens are born at a time, and newborns weigh approximately 1 pound.
Behavior
When leopards eat, they usually climb up a tree so that other animals don't steal their catch. They are also nocturnal, which means they are awake and active at night. Leopards are very solitary creatures, and live alone, except when raising young.
Other
There are 4 types of leopards, snow, spotted, clouded, and black, A.K.A., panther. Snowy leopards live in the mountains, whereas spotted and clouded leopards and panthers live in forests, grasslands, and occasionally deserts.

Fun Fact
Leopards are very agile animals, being able to
leap over 20 feet high, run 36 miles per hour,
jump 10 feet n the air and, surprisingly, are
very good swimmers.
