Leopards (豹) live in many parts of the world, from Siberia to Africa. They have a very beautiful yellow
skin with large black spots. They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals (哺乳动物) such as zebras,
monkeys, and antelopes (羚羊). They sleep for about 12 hours a day. Leopards are very solitary (独居的)
animals. They spend most of their time alone in trees, where they wait until a small animal passes. They jump on
the animal and then drag it up into the tree, where they eat it.
Like many animals, leopards are disappearing because people hunt them. They kill them for their beautiful
coats. The Sinai leopard, for example, from Egypt, is now probably extinct (绝种的).
