Leopards

Leopards (regardless of species) are regarded for their beautiful and mysterious appearances. But in addition to being beautiful, they are also incredibly strong. Considered one of the "stockier" species of large cat, their build allows them to hunt prey that is several times larger than the cat itself. If that wasn't enough of a feat of strength, the leopard is unique in that it will often haul its meals high into trees to prevent them from being stolen by other predators.

This year's animal Omer is a collaboration between myself and my friend Halli, a PhD in animal science. Thank you for counting the Omer with us!
