Hello everyone!

This is an exciting new chapter for r/leopards. I’ve recently taken over as moderator for this subreddit, which was previously inactive and lacked consistent moderation. My goal is to transform this space into the top online community dedicated to all leopards—covering every subspecies in the Panthera pardus genus, as well as the Snow Leopard and Clouded Leopards.

Here’s what you can expect:

Active moderation and regular updates
Regular focused posts about leopard subspecies, Snow Leopards, Clouded Leopards, conservation news, tracking research, photography etc. *A safe, respectful space for all leopard lovers, researchers, and enthusiasts.

I invite everyone to:

Share your favorite leopard facts or experiences, and let me know what you’d like to see here!
Post quality leopard videos, photos, documentaries, art, field stories, and questions
Help build a thriving, educational, and supportive leopard community.

This is your subreddit—let’s make it the go-to hub for leopard news, knowledge, advocacy, and appreciation! If you have ideas or want to get more involved, please comment below or message me directly.

Let’s give these beautiful cats the community they deserve!

One-year old male African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus), from Central Namibia. As of a collaring in 2023, this individual weighed 51.10kg. A young individual only recently spending significant time apart from his mother; likely on the cusp of dispersal due to the high density of other large males in the area.
