  2. Panthera pardus, a large wild cat with a spotted coat native to Africa and Asia.
    • 1990, Dorothy L. Cheney, How Monkeys See the World: Inside the Mind of Another Species, published 1992, page 284:
      During all such cases when we were present they responded by giving repeated alarm calls, even when the leopard was already feeding on a carcass. We wanted to determine whether vervets knew enough about the behavior of leopards to recognize that, even in the absence of a leopard, a carcass in a tree signaled the same potential danger as did a leopard itself.

    • 1998, Oded Borowski, Every Living Thing: Daily Use of Animals in Ancient Israel, page 201:
      The leopard (Panthera pardus or Felis pardus cf tulliana) is a close relative of the lion, but biblical references mentioning it are very few, suggesting that it was not as common.

    • 2005, Richard Ellis, Tiger Bone & Rhino Horn: The Destruction of Wildlife for Traditional Chinese Medicine, page 197:
      Leopard skins have always been desirable commodities because of their spectacular spotted patterns.
      Category:English terms with quotations#LEOPARD
    1. (especially) The male of the species P. pardus, in contrast to leopardess.
  3. (loosely) A similar-looking, large wild cat named after the leopard.
    • 2005, Eric Dinerstein, Tigerland and Other Unintended Destinations, page 81:
      There are plenty of beautiful cats among the thirty-nine species in the Felidae family, but the three leopards—clouded, common, and snow—may be the most visually stunning. Cloaked in the most beautiful fur of any cat, the reclusive clouded leopard is the Greta Garbo of the lot; it lives a solitary life in the remote jungles of Asia, from Nepal to Borneo.
      Category:English terms with quotations#LEOPARD
    1. A clouded leopard (either Neofelis nebulosa or Neofelis diardi), a large wild cat native to Asia.
    2. The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), a large wild cat native to Asia.
  4. (heraldryCategory:en:Heraldic charges#LEOPARD) A lion passant guardant.
    • 1968, Charles MacKinnon of Dunakin, The Observer's Book of Heraldry, pages 68–69:
      Sometimes there is confusion over the heraldic leopard, the question being—When is a leopard not a leopard? There is a theory that the lion and leopard were the same thing, and that they were named entirely depending on their attitude—thus if the animal was passant guardant it was a leopard, but when rampant it was a lion. Nowadays a leopard is the genuine spotted article and quite unmistakeable. Some people still speak, wrongly, of the leopards of England, but it does no great harm as it is an ancient expression and everybody knows what it means.
