On International Leopard Day, check out some viral posts about these big cats

The International Leopard Day is celebrated on 3 May every year to make people aware about the big cats. These majestic creatures are mostly found in the Indian subcontinent, Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southern Russia.

They can be seen in different sizes depending on their habitat. These creatures are also great climbers.

Population of these big cats has been decreasing in recent years due to external factors, and keeping that in view, the International Leopard Day is celebrated each year.

To spread more awareness about this day and these big cats, IAS officer Supriya Sahu, IFS officers Parveen Kaswan and Susanta Nanda shared some interesting posts.

IFS officer Parveen Kaswan posted, “The black panther straight from Jungle book. This we captured two years back in camera trap. Black panthers are just melanistic common leopards. They are found in many states in #India. In America melanistic Jaguars are called as black panther. Today is international #LeopardDay.”
