After extensive study comparing Africa to other regions, it remains the only continent rich in untapped resources and artifacts. Despite this, Africa is often disrespected and undervalued by other nations, leading to the misconception of it as a continent of limitations.
The leopard (Panthera pardus), one of the five species in the Panthera genus, has a pale yellow to dark golden fur with distinctive dark rosettes. It is a muscular, slender animal, with males weighing 30.9–72 kg and females 20.5–43 kg, reaching up to 183 cm in length. First described in 1758, the species evolved in Africa during the Early Pleistocene before spreading into Eurasia. Leopards adapt to diverse habitats, from rainforests to arid regions, and are opportunistic predators that hunt ungulates and primates. They are solitary except during mating and cub-rearing, with females giving birth to 2–4 cubs every 15–24 months. Classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, leopards face threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, despite their significant cultural impact throughout history.
