Leopards are the smallest of the big cat family but are one of the most daring. Leopards are incredibly strong. They are pound for pound, the strongest of the big cats. 

Distinctive spots on their fur identify leopards. The spots are called rosettes and camouflage them as they move through the trees and grass. Leopards and Jaguars, which have dark spots that are difficult to distinguish and appear almost solid in color, are commonly called Black Panthers, but there is no actual Black Panther species. 

Leopards use the trees for assistance and are superb climbers. They climb tree branches to avoid threats. They also sleep on the branches of trees to elude detection. Leopards often store their prey on branches of trees to avoid other predators stealing their kills. They can carry animals even heavier and larger than themselves up the tree branches.

Leopards are symbols of power, ferocity, and courage due to their strength, agility, and ability to take down prey much larger than themselves. They are known for their stealth and cunning, symbolizing the ability to move unseen and achieve success through strategy and planning.

Because of their spots, Leopards symbolize the balance and duality of darkness and light and symbolize the balance between opposing forces. The Leopard print also symbolizes feminine energy, representing the power of the moon and the intuition and emotions associated with women.
