Most of the time, a leopard moves through the world alone. Mating changes that. Adult males and females may come together for a short period when the female is receptive.
Solitary does not mean disconnected
Leopards notice one another through scent, calls and movement across overlapping ranges. They do not need to live in groups to know who else uses the landscape.
Then come the cubs
Once cubs are born, the mother takes over the work of raising them. She chooses hiding places, protects the cubs and leads them through the first lessons of survival.
Wild bit: for a brief time, an animal famous for being solitary becomes part of a family story.
