leopards
Rosette-patterned big cats
Leopards is the plural of leopard, a large wild cat native to Africa and Asia, known for its spotted coat and solitary, stealthy nature.
Leopards are powerful climbers that often drag prey into trees.
The word appears in the idiom a leopard can't change its spots, meaning people don't fundamentally change their nature.
