Hello, I am [G. Edward Johnson] and have been on wikipedia since 2002. My first edit with this account was on March 22, 2002 to create the page for The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. (I may have edited some pages anonymously before then, I just don't remember.) I have recently been adding photos to articles as well as short article descriptions.
The African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) is a subspecies of the leopard and part of the cat family, Felidae. It is widely distributed across much of Sub-Saharan Africa, although its historical range has become increasingly fragmented due to habitat loss and human activity. It has also been recorded in North Africa. It inhabits various habitats including mountainous forests, grasslands and savannahs. The African leopard's coat colour varies from pale yellow to deep gold, tawny or black, and is patterned with black rosettes while the head, lower limbs and belly are spotted with solid black. Male leopards are larger than females, averaging 58 kg (128 lb), while females weigh about 37.5 kg (83 lb) on average. The African leopard has a very broad diet, with prey ranging from dung beetles and other arthropods to rodents, birds, antelopes, hyraxes, hares, and even large ungulates such as elands. Leopards typically concentrate their hunting on locally abundant medium-sized ungulates but opportunistically take a wide variety of other prey. This African leopard was photographed in Kruger National Park, South Africa.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
