Leopard marking territory
Female leopard (Panthera pardus) scratching a camelthorn tree (Acacia erioloba) in the Auob riverbed of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Southern Africa. Leopards have interdigital glands on their paws which enables them to transfer scent onto the tree where they have scratched, usually at eye level. This visual and chemical form of territorial marking communicates to other leopards passing through that the territory they are in is occupied. It also helps them to maintain their claws. Although Leopards are usually solitary animals, communication with one another is still necessary, in order to advertise territory, to try and avoid unnecessary conflict and also to find each other quickly and easily when a female goes into estrous.
