Leopards depend on facial features to hunt

A closer look at how leopards sense danger can give us an insight into why it was scared. The South African National Biodiversity Institute revealed that leopards depend on their hearing, smell, and long whiskers to detect prey.

The same features help the leopard size up a place it is scoping out, preventing the head and body from getting stuck. They also have big eyes, which gives the leopard an advantage because more light streams into the eye, giving it night vision that is eight times better than humans.
