The Black Leopard is the most common large black cat. They tend to inhabit China, Southeast Asia, and India in dense forest terrain. Despite their namesake, the leopard's fur is a combination of black, blue, gray, and purple. Since they are smaller and have a lighter build than black panthers, leopards are often used in zoos and as pets, and other dometication.
In search of Robin and Talia, Batman, Ra's al Ghul, and Ubu journeyed to Mount Merapi in Malaysia. Batman encountered a Black Leopard and rendered it unconscious. He began to suspect Ra's al Ghul was testing him when, Ubu allowed Batman to enter the mountain temple first, instead of his master. More closer to home, a Black Leopard specimen resides in the Gotham Zoo. Years later, when Zatanna and Batman confronted Circe near Greece. She transformed several audience members into beasts, including a black leopard. Zatanna cast of her spells and trapped it in a metal cage.
