Leopards and pumas are similar in their scale, their form, behaviour, their diet and in their ability to live close to people largely unseen.

They are highly versatile and are generalists. They live their lives as stealthy ambush predators. These cats were and in some places continue to be kept by people as trophy pets.

They have also been kept in Britain as guarding-animals especially in the scrap metal and metal processing industry. Some of the medium-large black cats reported in Britain may not be black leopards, which adds to the puzzle.
