African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus)

African leopards appear twice on this list because of their impressive ability to adapt to both forests and steppes. These predators are solitary by nature, relying on their keen senses and agility to survive. Leopards often use trees for vantage points and storing food, ensuring it remains out of reach from scavengers.

Reserves focus on preserving their habitats and prey species while protecting them from threats like illegal hunting and habitat encroachment. Their adaptability makes them a symbol of resilience in the wild.
