The Leopard Long ago, the leopard and the Ethiopian, his white hunting companion, lived in a place called the High Veldt. The two dominated this vast grassland, and they were able to hunt and catch any animal they wished. Their favorite meals consisted of the plain sandy-yellow-brown coated giraffe and zebra.

animals of the world today, the Amur leopard is facing the likelihood of extinction. Their threat is not by means of natural selection or a changing world but by man who has deliberately or unknowingly depleted their habitat and community.

(Spotilia & Berman 1976). If amphibians become dehydrated, their oxygen consumption and metabolic state becomes at risk (Pough et al. 1983). As with movement rates, water loss rates are species specific. The northern leopard frog has a higher loss rate than the marine toad due to the northern leopard frog’s higher diffusion rate of water through their permeably skin (Bentley & Yorio 1976).

The demise of forest panicked Bisnu who is habituated with green mountains at his village and not with desert-like dart. When asked about the condition of trees at his village, Bisnu, as if in a voice
