How do leopards survive in rainforests?

Best Answers

Leopards survive in rain forests for the same reason they survive in other environments: They are extremely adaptable. Leopards prey on grazing animals up to several times their own size, wart hogs, dogs, crabs, snakes, lizards, young crocodiles, snails, small rodents, birds, eggs, fish, insects, and primates (including man), just to name a few. read more

Black leopards are also called melanistic leopards. At first look they can appear solid black, but when the sun shines on them you can still see they have rosettes when viewed at the right angle. Black leopards are a much higher percentage of the total leopard population in rain forests, and are better suited in the shaded environment. read more
