Just a question. I don't know why I'm asking this...but where can leopards usually be found? Does anyone know?

Leopards are one of my favorite animals!

Leopards are the 4th largest of the big cats (after tigers, lions & jaguars) and are the most widely distributed of the big cats. Historically they were found throughout the African continent (except for the Sahara Desert), through southern area. Due to the spread of human population, their territories are reduced, but they are still found in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Minor, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, China, Siberia, much of mainland South-East Asia, and the islands of Java and Sri Lanka.

While their populations might be very rare in some of these areas, the species the most populous of all the large cats, with an estimated 500,000 individuals worldwide. Unfortunately it is facing increasing pressure from habitat destruction, loss of prey and poaching and many of the subspecies are endangered. The most threatened populations are the Amur, Anatolian, Barbary, North Chinese, and South Arabian leopards.

Prior to the human-induced changes of the last few hundred years, Leopards were the most widely distributed of all felids other than the domestic cat: they were found in historical times through most of Africa (with the exception of the Sahara Desert) and in many parts of southern Asia. In the Pleistocene leopards also occurred in Europe. Today leopards are still found in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Minor, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, China, Siberia, much of mainland South-East Asia, and the islands of Java and Sri Lanka. In some of these areas they are very rare today.
