Leopard Cats: Solitary Predators and Conservation Challenges
The Leopard cat is a member of the Felidae family, known for its retractable claws, muscular build, sharp teeth, and keen hunting instincts. This family, which includes both large and small cats, evolved around 25 million years ago during the Oligocene epoch and is divided into two subfamilies: Pantherinae (big cats) and Felinae (smaller cats).
