leopard cub

Young spotted feline

A leopard cub is a young leopard, typically staying with its mother for about two years before becoming independent.

Like other big cat young, cubs are born with spotted coats and closed eyes, learning to hunt through play and observation: The leopard cub watched its mother stalk prey from a safe distance.
