The African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) is the nominate subspecies of the leopard, native to many countries in Africa. It is widely distributed in most of sub-Saharan Africa, but the historical range has been fragmented in the course of habitat conversion. Leopards have also been recorded in North Africa as well.
Prior to the start of the series, a family of African Leopards were brought to the park from Africa. They reside in the Saber-Tooth Rock Enclosure with the saber-tooth cats.
