The International Leopard Day is celebrated on 3 May every year to make people aware about the big cats. These majestic creatures are mostly found in the Indian subcontinent, Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southern Russia.

They can be seen in different sizes depending on their habitat. These creatures are also great climbers.
