What does the leopard diet consist of?
Leopards take a wide range of vertebrate prey, ranging from mice to wildebeest, and including baby giraffes, a wide variety of antelope, hares, primates, small carnivores, porcupines, ground roosting birds, reptiles and even fish. They also eat fruit and readily scavenge.
In the Kruger Park impalas are taken more than any other antelope.
