-- Pound for pound the Black Leopard is probably the most evolved predator cat on earth. Some say, the most aggressive and feared animal in the world. They are extremely secretive and solitary animals, only coming together to mate. They are believed to be capable of killing prey up to 550 kilos. Thier territories, which they patrol with vigour, are about 12 square miles. This is thought to be greater in the UK. They are supreme tree climbers and can leap to 6-8 meters up a tree trunk from the ground.
