As part of the big cats, the leopard's size ranges from one to almost two meters! The leopard (Panthera pardus) thanks its name to people who considered it a hybrid between a lion (leo) and a panther (pard)... There is a lot of misconception and mistakes when keeping jaguars, panthers and leopards apart. This is because in different parts of the world they mean different things... In fact, a "panther" can be any of several species of large felid. In North America panther means puma and in South America a panther is a jaguar. Elsewhere in the world a panther is a leopard. There are about 30 subspecies of leopards (one, the Zanzibar leopard is extinct) and some of them are endangered: the Anatolian (maybe even extinct), Barbary, Amur, North Chinese, and South Arabian leopards are all critically endangered.
The Leopard is listed as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category, on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
