Extinction

Leopards live in many parts of Asia and all throughout Africa except for the Sahara desert.

Leopards have being disappearing in the south of Africa and they are becoming rare in the North too because they like to prey on farm animals and the farmers hunt them and kill them. Leopards are also hunted for their fur to make coats, hats and other things and for centuries African tribes have used leopard furs to make war shields and ceremonial cloaks.

Even leopard tails were used to clothe tribe chiefs.
