TODAY we honor one of Africa’s most graceful and mysterious big cats — the leopard.
Powerful yet elusive, leopards are known for their stealth, strength, and that signature move: napping in trees. With their limbs draped over branches and tails swaying lazily in the breeze, they can sleep up to 15 hours a day — proving that even the fiercest predators know the value of a good rest.
Thank you to organisations like Cape Leopard Trust that make a huge contribution to the awareness and protection of leopards.
