The Indian leopard is one of the four big cats found in India, apart from Asiatic lion, Bengal tiger and snow leopard.

The Leopard of Panar was a man-eating male leopard alleged to have killed and eaten as many as 400 people over a period of several years in the Kumaon District of Northern India in the early 20th century, after a wounding by a poacher had left it unable to hunt normal prey.
The Panar Leopard was hunted down and killed in 1910 by famed big cat hunter and author Jim Corbett.

HUMAN THREAT
Mainly habitat loss. But leopards are also:
killed for commercial reasons (fur, others), leopard-human conflict, hunted for fun. Kept unfree (zoos..., in small cages without vegetation + exhibited all day to another species). Used as tourist attractions. Petted. And surely others.
