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.

LOL @ the ugly one...

[Brensdad74]

In most Youtube videos we'd still be looking at the tree trunk while the leopard's already at the top. Nice camera work.
