Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. Its fur is marked with rosettes.
It is similar in appearance to the jaguar (Panthera onca), but has a smaller, lighter physique, and its rosettes are generally smaller, more densely packed and without central spots.
Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, strength, and its ability to adapt to a variety of habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe,
including arid and montane areas.
It can run at speeds of up to 58 km/h (36 mph).
The earliest known leopard fossils excavated in Europe are estimated 600,000 years old, dating to the late Early Pleistocene.
Leopard fossils were also found in Japan and Sumatra.

This is one of David Shepherd's 'Gold Collection'; Started in 1992 with 'Cheetah'
A silkscreen was produced once a year, the edition size was always kept to a minimum, and
due to the lengthy 'hands-on' process of printing, no two copies are exactly the same.
The silkscreen s can perhaps be regarded as being somewhere between a signed,
limited edition print and an original painting.

In 1992, David began a series called the 'Gold Editions' which were high quality produced silkscreen prints, giving much deeper and richer colours
than a usual photo lithograph print. Published on high quality water colour paper and a low edition run of between 200 to 495 prints.
One silkscreen was published each year from 1992 begining with 'Cheetah'
