Another feature of leopards which is perhaps overlooked is how strong they are. Once, while hunting on private land in Kenya, we were driving down a road adjacent to a game fence: 9' chain link topped by barbed wire. Suddenly we noticed wool clinging to the barbed wire on top of the fence. We stopped and examined the evidence.

The trackers determined that a leopard had crossed the fence from the outside, killed a full grown sheep, carried it back across the fence and had stored it in the crotch of a tree some ten feet off the ground. We actually found the half devoured sheep still in the tree. The leopard, of course, was nowhere to be found. Imagine how much strength that feat would have required in human terms!
