Most leopards have a rosette patterned coat and extremely long, darker tail. This large cat is sometimes confused in appearance with the South American Jaguar. Leopards are less stocky and unlike the jaguar, their rosette markings are generally smaller and have no internal spots. The overall size of the leopard depends on the subspecies and location. The largest animals grow to a length of nearly 5 feet with an additional tail length of about 3 feet. Generally the female is between 20-40% smaller than the female. The base coloration of the coat also varies greatly depending upon location, ranging from golden/yellow in open grasslands, through yellow/cream in desert areas to deep gold in mountain and forest regions. Black or melanistic leopards, commonly called ‘Black Panthers’, are born in the same litter as normally marked cats and also carry the rosette markings, although these are masked by the black fur. It has been observed that the melantistic leopard is most generally found in the dense, wet forested areas of India and south east Asia, where the coloration advantages the cat in its hunting. We have both traditionally colored stuffed leopards and black stuffed leopards, or panthers.
