Leopard
   (Heb. namer, so called because spotted, Cant. 4:8), was that
   great spotted feline which anciently infested the mountains of
   Syria, more appropriately called a panther (Felis pardus). Its
   fierceness (Isa. 11:6), its watching for its prey (Jer. 5:6),
   its swiftness (Hab. 1:8), and the spots of its skin (Jer.
   13:23), are noticed. This word is used symbolically (Dan. 7:6;
   Rev. 13:2).
