Important Days

International Leopard Day is celebrated annually on 3 May to raising awareness about leopards and their protection and conservation. Leopards are elusive and nocturnal animals whose size and colour depend on the habitat. They are great climbers and hide in trees, where they hide their prey to avoid competition. Members of the cat family, leopards live in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Russia. As a lasting legacy of the Global Leopard Conference, International Leopard Day was officially established and endorsed, granting it a permanent and significant position on the global wildlife calendar.


      Leopards can run at up to 58km/h. They can leap 6m forward through the air.
