In the 'Nants Ingonyama' chant heard in the song, ' Circle of Life', one line says, 'Ingonyama nengw' enamabala,' which translates into English meaning, 'A lion and a leopard come to this open place.' During Zazu's morning report to Mufasa, he mentions that 'the leopards are in a bit of a spot'. Leopards seem to have a particular taste for okapis. However, as demonstrated by Makucha and his friends Fahari and Jiona, they can band together and hunt in packs. Most have golden pelts, with black and brown spots on their hides. They are powerful predators who can hold their own against young lions.
