Leopard is a term used to describe a spotted color pattern, particularly in the hair coat or skin of animal s, but also used to describe spotting patterns in plant s and fabric s. The term is derived from the black and gold spotted coat of the Leopard cat, but is used to describe many color combinations that result in spots scattered randomly across the skin or hair coat of other animals. Leopard may also be used to describe fabric designs that imitate the coat pattern of Leopards or other animals. Examples of animals with coloring patterns termed Leopard include many great cats in the Panthera species , the Leopard frog , the Leopard spotting pattern in the Appaloosa and Knabstrupper breeds of horse s, the Leopard Seal , insects such as the Giant Leopard Moth , and fish species such as the Leopard darter and the Leopard shark . Examples of plants that use the term include the Dieffenbachia Leopard Lily , and the Belamcanda chinensis Leopard flower . The leopard color pattern in horses is linked to the Lp or Leopard complex , which not only produces a spotted equine coat color coat color but also causes mottling of the skin, a white sclera around the eye, and striped horse hoof hooves .

It has been listed as a threatened species in the United States since 1978, and the IUCN lists it as vulnerable. Leopard darters rarely exceed three inches 8 cm in length. They have 11 14 large, dark spots on their sides. These spots contrast against a light background that ranges from pale olive on the back to yellowish olive on the underside. The back of the fish has numerous saddles and bars. Leopard darters typically live less than two years, but individuals older than three years have been found. Spawning occurs in March and April, but may occur as early as February, on gravel bottomed riffles. The fertilized eggs are buried in gravel. The average clutch size is about 65 eggs. Young leopard darters begin to appear in May of each year. Food items include aquatic insects and microcrustaceans. Leopard darters are found in medium to large streams.
