and bravery. It is said to
be able to approach and
disappear more stealthily than any other
known animal. Even the tiger does not
have its highly developed
sense of self-preservation or
its ability to conceal itself so
effectively. But the most pronounced characteristic

man. The leopard will shoot
off immediately when it hears someone
approaching. It is easily excited and agitated. |
