Leopards in Uganda.

Spotted Leopard in Murchison Falls National Park

A Leopard is one of the hardest large species to observe in Uganda, thanks to it's nocturnal, solitary behavior and well camouflaged coat. Their survival is partly due to their adaptability to warm and cold climates and ability to climb trees while carrying heavy prey keeping it safe from other predators such as Lions and Hyenas. Leopards are too shay animals that are rarely seen in open areas therefore this makes them most rare animals to spot out, Leopards in Murchison Falls National Park.
