The leopard is a felid in the genus Panthera characterized by its yellow fur marked with rosettes.[1] Similar in appearance to the jaguar of the Americas,[2] it is native to Africa and Asia.
Historically, leopard furs were valued by humans in places such as Egypt for insulation against cold and windy weather. In 48 BCE, one leopard pelt was worth 50 drachma.[1]
