What are the Differences between Indian Leopards and African Leopards?


Listen Later

The leopard is possibly one of the most diverse of the big cats, both physically, genetically, as well as geographically. There are generally eight recognized subspecies, spread across much of Africa and parts of southern Asia. Among these, the African and Indian leopards share similar traits in physical appearance, skull size, length, and natural behavior. However, African leopards exhibit a more robust build compared to their Indian counterparts. Male African leopards weigh up to 90 kilograms, while females weigh up to 60 kilograms. In contrast, the Indian leopards are generally smaller, with males weighing between 50-70 kilograms and females weighing between 30-40 kilograms.
