Leopard may also be used to describe fabric designs that imitate the coat pattern of Leopards or other animals. Examples of animals with coloring patterns termed Leopard include many great cats in the Panthera species , the Leopard frog , the Leopard spotting pattern in the Appaloosa and Knabstrupper breeds of horse s, the Leopard Seal , insects such as the Giant Leopard Moth , and fish species such as the Leopard darter and the Leopard shark . Examples of plants that use the term include the Dieffenbachia Leopard Lily , and the Belamcanda chinensis Leopard flower . The leopard color pattern in horses is linked to the Lp or Leopard complex , which not only produces a spotted equine coat color coat color but also causes mottling of the skin, a white sclera around the eye, and striped horse hoof hooves .

Members would dress in leopard skins, waylaying travelers with sharp claw like weapons in the form of leopards claws and teeth. The victims flesh would be cut from their bodies and distributed to members of the society. In theory, the ritual cannibalism would strengthen both members of the society as well as their entire tribe. In fiction A fictional version of the Leopard Society was featured in the Tarzan novel Tarzan and the Leopard Men . The Leopard Society also appeared in the book African Adventure . Tintin encounters an enemy posing as a member of the Leopard Society in Tintin au Congo . The White Glove Society in the video game Fallout New Vegas is said to be based on The Leopard Society. In other literature Encounters with what is believed to be members of The Leopard Society are described in the book Travels in the White Man s Grave Memoirs from West and Central Africa , by Donald MacIntosh.

Image Corbett4.jpg thumb 200px Jim Corbett after killing the man eating Leopard of Rudraprayag in 1925 The Leopard of Rudraprayag was a male man eater man eating leopard, reputed to have killed over 125 people. It was eventually killed by famed big cat hunter and author Jim Corbett hunter Jim Corbett . The first victim of the leopard was from village Benji . For eight years, no one dared move alone at night on the road between the Hindu shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath , for it passed through the leopard s territory, and few villagers would leave their houses. The leopard was apparently so desperate for food that it would break down doors, leap through windows, claw through the mud or thatch walls of huts and drag people from them, devouring them. The British Parliament requested the aid of Corbett in the autumn of 1925. In the town of Rudraprayag there is a sign board which marks the spot where the leopard was shot. There is a fair held at Rudraprayag commemorating the killing of the leopard and people there often consider Jim Corbett a Sadhu . Corbett s notes revealed that this leopard, an elderly male, was suffering from serious gum recession and tooth loss. Recent analysis of many of the man eaters taken by Corbett and other hunters has shown a pattern, in which the animals are too sick or compromised to hunt their normal prey, and thus turn to hunting humans, who are much easier to hunt and kill than wild game.
