What is How the leopard got his spots about?
Long ago, the leopard’s coat was plain sandy yellow and greyish brown. But when the animals he hunted disappeared into the speckled shadows of the forest, he faced a tricky problem: how could he catch them? With help from the clever Ethiopian, the leopard finds a way to blend into the dappled light. Discover how his coat was transformed and why his spots became the perfect camouflage for stalking prey among the trees.
