It is the most widespread leopard subspecies.

Leopards are hunted illegally and parts of their body are destined for smuggling in the Wild Life Market for medicinal practices and decoration.

The species' success in the wild is in part due to its opportunistic hunting behaviour, its adaptability to habitats, its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph) and  its unequalled ability to climb trees even when carrying prey.

This Extra Large African Leopard replica is 12.8cm x 8.1cm.

Hand painted, it is an exact replica.
