Never have seen a leopard in Africa, but have seen tracks and heard them at night,

Same in India.

However have seen them in Sri Lanka, where they are larger and the biggest big cat. Saw them three times in a day or two. Including a leopard running down wild boar. I didn't see it sprint acorss the clearing but my wife and the guide on that side of the vehicle did. We had been waiting for it, listening to the "forest folk" tell us the movement of the leopard. The other two, one moving at distance in a creek, the other on a rock I think.

Leopard may hunt mainly at night, but where not theatened are also a day light hunter and beast.
