Leopards are good at climbing trees. They basically do this to hoard their kill from the scavengers and other predators that might come and steal their precious catch. They have amazingly strong necks and shoulders, which make them capable enough to carry its prey often much heavier than their body weight to the tall branches. Leopard’s tree climbing skills also helps them to escape from its predators and at the same time they can pounce down on its prey. It uses its tail to balance and to make it easier to climb, it makes the first jump to climb with its tail up and then pushes the tail down to get the upward movement.
