Common card · No. 448970

Leopards have a long history in Europe, spanning from the Early-Middle Pleistocene transition, around 1.2–0.6 million years ago, until the end of the Late Pleistocene, around 12,000 years ago, and possibly later into the early Holocene. Remains of leopards have been found across Europe, from the Iberian Peninsula to the Caucasus.
