Leopard breeding
Leopards usually breed year-round in the southern regions of their range. Populations living in the Far East usually breed in late autumn or early winter. The breeding of leopards is usually accompanied by fights and roars from male leopards, which is typical for cats. The rest of the time, the leopard is very silent, which cannot be said about a lion or a tiger. The pregnancy of a female leopard usually lasts three months. Its result is the birth of one or two (much less often three) blind leopard cubs. Leopards usually make their lair in caves or rock crevices. Also, pits formed by uprooted tree roots can serve as a shelter. Leopards choose a quiet and inconspicuous place. Leopard cubs are ahead of tiger cubs in maturation - usually after 2.5 years they become sexually mature. Remarkably, female leopards mature earlier than males.

The origin of the species name "leopard" originates in the Hatti language (which is a possible ancestor of the Adyghe and Abkhazian languages). The word prassun is also found in the Russian literary language, starting from the 16th century. Initially, the name referred directly to the Caucasian leopards - Panthera pardus. Among the rangers of the Caucasian Reserve in the 19th century, the word "pantier" took place, the occurrence of which is attributed to the era of noble hunting. The word "leopard" was also used by Russian zoologists back in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Appearance of a leopard
The leopard is a large cat, but inferior in size to the tiger and lion. The body of the animal is elongated and muscular, as well as light and flexible. The length of the leopard's tail exceeds half the length of its body, which is slightly laterally compressed. The legs of a leopard are strong, but meek. The paws are wide and massive, and the head is not large and has a rounded shape. The head of the animal is decorated with small rounded ears, widely spaced from each other.

According to the University of Lyon, there are about 400 million domestic cats in the world. The top prize goes to Australia, where there are 9 cats per 10 inhabitants. On the Asian continent, the first place is behind Indonesia, where there are more than 30 million furry animals, and in Europe - after France, whose residents have under their care 8 million cats. At the same time, there are countries, such as Peru, Gabon, where domestic cats are almost never found.
Every year, Americans spend four billion dollars on cat food. That's one billion dollars more than they spend on baby food! If a cat is near you and its tail is shaking, this is the greatest feeling of love that it can express. When the tail begins to fall, it means that the mood has changed - you can leave, she will not be offended.

A giraffe, a camel, and a cat are the only ambulatory animals, when they walk, they walk first with their left paws, and then with their right ones. Such walking guarantees speed, dexterity and silence. Egyptians shaved their eyebrows as a sign of mourning when they lost a beloved cat. The cat's ear turns 180 degrees. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear, and they use twelve or more muscles to control the ear. How old is your cat by human standards? If your cat is 3 years old, that's equivalent to a human being 21 years old. If 8 years, then in human terms – 40. If 14, then 70 human years. The average life span of a domestic cat is 15 years, while that of a wild cat is 3 to 5 years.

4. According to scientists, the ancestors of whales left the waters of the ancient ocean 54 million years ago, but returned back in the process of evolution. Therefore, they were called re-water animals.
5. Not all whales eat the same way, depending on the method of feeding, they are divided into 2 divisions: toothed; mustache Toothed whales differ from baleen whales in that their nostrils are unpaired. There was also a third type - ancient, but there are no representatives of this genus left at present.

Many pet owners like to keep reptiles at home. One of the most common species is turtles. Turtles are certainly cute while they are small, but they grow quickly and require a lot of space. Before you get a turtle, you should make sure that the new pet is "for you" as they say and that you will be able to care for it for most of its life, as turtles can live almost as long as humans, about 40-60 years
Many people have the wrong idea that it is enough to bring a turtle home, feed it regularly, and this awkward animal will not disturb anyone, living somewhere on the territory of the house. Indeed, some turtles will not cause discomfort to their owners, even if they live indoors without their own "corner". You just need to remove extra things from the floor (especially small ones), wipe dust often, close holes and not create drafts. Keeping turtles like this is not correct, you should not torture the animal if you are not going to spend time with it: a turtle is a living creature that requires care, care and attention
