Animals

The leopard is a symbol of adaptability and stealth, thriving in diverse ecosystems, including wetlands and mangrove forests. This solitary predator has a spotted coat that blends perfectly with the dappled light filtering through mangroves, making it a master of camouflage.

Leopards in wetland habitats primarily hunt small mammals, birds, and even reptiles. Their exceptional swimming abilities allow them to cross water channels in search of prey or escape danger. Leopards also climb trees to rest or drag their kill to keep it safe from scavengers.

However, these magnificent creatures face threats from habitat destruction due to urbanization and deforestation. Protecting wetland areas is essential to ensuring the leopard’s survival and maintaining the ecological balance of these unique habitats.
