The leopards have a very unique mating system. Females are capable of breeding in 2 years and will produce litters of one to three cubs after a pregnancy lasting about 100 days (three - and-a-half months). A female leopard on heat attracts males by the smell of her urine and they have to mate every 15 minutes for up to 5 days that is more than 250 times. There is a valid reason for this, in humans, females produce an egg every 28 days. If it is not fertilized, the egg and the lining of the uterus will be discarded. This does not happen with leopards as the act of producing something that is not used is a waste of energy, so the female leopard requires a stimulus to start ovulation. I was lucky enough to witness this rare phenomena on my visit to Masai Mara, Kenya one of my favorite wildlife shooting destination.
