These carnivores live in tropical woodlands &&
jungles.
They hunt by laying in wait and leaping upon their prey,
surprising on a 1-3.
Leopards can spring 20' upwards or ahead 25'.
If they scare hits with both forepaws during a melee
round, the leopard gains 2 additional attacks that round, each attack at
1-4 HP damage.
If found in their lair, there is a 25% chance that there
will be 1-3 cubs there.
These young will have no effective attack.

Snow Leopard
DL3 notes a Snow Leopard on the
screen. It is statistically identical, and the THACO is noted as 16.
If one is playing with Weather,
then the Snow Leopard will have natural resistance, of some kind, to cold
temperatures (but not necessarily resistance to the 'liquid nitrogen' temperatures
of some Cold spells).

Panthera pardus adersi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanzibar_Leopard
theory:
Panthera pardus indigenous
where indigenous = a word in the local language
so,
if
they name this animal a felix,
then
Panthera pardus felix
in theory, extend this to all Latin taxonomy
.
.
.
.
either that, or:
Panthera sekhmeta immortalis
goddess, of retribution
[well, hope not: ressurection(DNA)]
[keep a good hope]
