The leopard /ˈlɛpərd/ (Panthera pardus) is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera

It is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia to Siberia

Compared to other members of the Felidae, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull

It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but is smaller and more lightly built

Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguars do

Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers
