Barbary Leopard by Ghirin

The Barbary Leopard resembles the familiar leopard of East Africa, but in keeping with its home in the snowy Atlas Mountains of North Africa, it is stockier, with a thicker coat. A bold and versatile cat, it may go for a month without drinking. It consumes nearly any form of protein, from beetles to antelope nearly twice its weight. The Barbary Leopard is also a predator of the Barbary Macaque. This leopard prefers a montane habitat of mixed coniferous and deciduous terrain. The Barbary Leopard is an endangered subspecies. Only 12 may remain in the Atlas Mountains.
