* Tropical rainforests: These are the most common habitats for leopards, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia.
* Savannas: Leopards are also found in open grasslands with scattered trees.
* Dry forests: Leopards can survive in areas with less rainfall and more arid conditions.
* Mountain forests: Some leopard populations are found in mountainous regions.
The melanism (black fur) is a genetic trait, and it can occur in any of these biomes. It's important to note that black leopards are not a separate species; they are just leopards with a specific coat color variation.
