Barbary leopard
subspecies of mammal
The Barbary leopard (Arabic: نمر بربري) is a relict leopard population that persists in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, in forest and mountain steppe in elevations of 300 to 2,500 m (980 to 8,200 ft), where the climate is temperate to cold.[3][4][5] In North Africa, the leopard preys on the Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus).[6][7] The Barbary leopard of North Africa used to be classified under Panthera pardus panthera, before being subsumed to P. p. pardus.[8][9][10]
