The most elusive of all the big cats. A patient, intelligent, efficient Hunter prowling and striking at prey with deadly intent and precision Enigmatic. Adaptable. Strategic. Endangered. The... Leopard, a wild cat native to the Serengeti Savannah and South Asia Expert tree climber with sharp talons and searingly intense cognac eyes. Opportunistic, nocturnal, powerful, aesthetically striking Predator. A study in contradiction; simultaneously fierce and shy Agile acrobat; quintessence of feline grace. A master of camouflage with Rosettes on its fur and long tail. A ghost-like hunter, springing with Deadly pounce. A loner. A stealth assassin Your Favorite Animal In The Wild Poetry Contest/Winner(2nd Place) Sponsored by Line Gauthier Date written and posted: 05/11/2018 Submitted on 12/10/2019 for...
