Leopard

Leopard


  Leopards, an interesting yet exciting animals. They are a part of the roaring cat family called the Phanteras. Leopards are often mistook as jaguars, the difference between them is sometimes incomparable to the human sight. Jaguars have bigger muscles, broader heads, and also jaws. This means that the difference between them is only seen in terms of size. But none than less leopards are an amazing creature they are masters in stealth with their spotted dots/rosettes and their ability to climb trees it seems that no one is going after this predator.
 Leopard is of course a part of the animal kingdom with the class mammals, order carnivora, family felidae, genus panthera, and the species pardus.  Leopard is commonly found in terrains and biomes full of rocky landscapes with dense bush and riverine forests, but they have also shown to be highly adaptable to many places in both warm and cold climates. So you will oftenly find them in places such as South Asia and also parts of Africa. Other than that they also have a life expectancy of around 21 years old. This might seem a bit young but at least it is longer than household cats. According to awf.org their mass s around 140 lbs which mean that they are around 63.5 kg that would weigh around two thirds the weight of a toilet.
     
The life cycle of this animal is actually pretty similar to other big cats. It starts when the cubs were born. Cubs are small and helpless when they are born, and do not open their eyes until they are about 7 days old. After that At 2 months old, cubs are ready to eat solid food. At around 3 months old, they begin following their mother and start learning important behavior like hunting. At 18-22 months old, cubs become independent of their mothers. Female leopards are ready to have their own cubs by age 2 or 3. Male leopards become sexually mature by age 4. This allows their community to expand in a fast and short term. However there is a slight problem today this big cat is actually being hunted and their number one predators are awfully humans, yes you heard me right their number one predators are again humans. That's why conservative actions has been taken by groups in areas where these animals live.

Aspiration Day

Aspiration day is an annual event that is held for students to deliver their thoughts on school, critics,etc. Sadly, tho I didn't attend this year's aspiration day due to problems with my scheduling. First problem is that we were told only the day before that aspiration is going to be on Friday, and I already had an appointment for my Japanese tutor.  The second problem is that I was also very tired, I know that this should not be an excused. However, before the event all students had a swimming class. For the boys, it was after the Friday prayer and the event is supposed to start at 2 so of course I was very tired, not only that the morning before that I had a jogging test. All of the tests werw traightforward, you just have to run and swim with front crawl style however since we have to do it repetitively it completely drained my energy.  Thinking about Japanese class, and why I chose to have one is because for most of the part I am very insterested to study in Japan espec

Me

     Hello there! My name is Dwika. I am a student from 3 High School Bandung. You know, when I think about making a bio or an in-depth look at myself. I feel that it is a bit unsafe. To me, putting your general information or a detailed information about yourself can pose a big threat to yourself. I fear that this is one of the ways bad people get closed information about yourself.    But the more i think about it, the reason on why people are willingly open about their personal information, is because so that other people from all over the world can take the personal meaning behind your story so that, it would have a positive impact on their lives which in the end could inspire them to do better things. So without further to do lets talk about myself.    I was born in a tiny city just east out of Jakarta, Indonesia. That city is Bandung. To be specific I was born on the month of June, the date 15, and the year 2002. So as I am writing this I am still 15 years old. I don't

My Favorite Place San Francisco       San Francisco has been one of my favorite place since I was at the age of 10 years old. It's a dream for me to not only go there but to also work there with my dream job which is as a programmer. I always dream on working in huge companies such as Google, Facebook,  Twitter, Skype, etc. The fact is, it is really hard to be able to work there.         But anyways here is a video of me showcasing one of my favorite city in the world. I hope you enjoyed it. I am sorry if there are any technical mistakes in the process of making this video and in the video itself mind my English too because I was really nervous when making this video.
