Leopard markings are the unique pattern of SPOTS that appear on the fur of leopards. These SPOTS, also known as rosettes, are typically circular in shape and range in color from pale yellow to black. They are used by leopards to camouflage themselves in their natural environment, helping them to blend in with their surroundings and remain undetected by predators. The SPOTS also serve as a form of identification, allowing leopards to recognize one another.
