"Dark spots are easily seen on the brightly colored leopard fur. Even black leopards have spots, although their black spots are harder to distinguish because of their black fur. Newborn leopard cubs are born intact without spots. Instead, they have soft and fine gray fur. They will not start to develop the distinctive leopard markings until they are about ten days old."

The leopard mother will move her cubs every few days to prevent predators from tracking her young. Leopard cubs are in danger from predators such as snakes, hyenas, and lions.

The translated text is: "Leopards are very skilled at hunting stealthily. Often, their prey is unaware that they are being stalked until it’s too late. They practice this skill by sneaking up on and pouncing on each other. The cubs are also seen trying to spy on the waving grass, branches, or blowing leaves."

The sense of smell in babies is very important for their survival because it helps them know when their mother is nearby. If the mother leaves the nest to hunt, her young must remain quiet to avoid attracting the attention of predators.

"However, in some cases, the young will stay with their mother longer, up to four years. Even after they find their own territory and live independently, sometimes the young leopards still continue to visit their mother. At least until she raises her new cubs."
