Leopards are opportunistic hunters. Although mid-sized animals are preferred,
the leopard will eat anything from dung beetles to 900 kg (1,984 lb) male giant elands.
Their diet consists mostly of ungulates and monkeys, but rodents, reptiles, amphibians,
birds and fish are also eaten. In Africa, mid-sized antelopes provide a majority of the leopard's prey,
especially impala and Thomson's gazelles. In Asia the leopard preys on deer such as chitals and muntjacs
as well as various Asian antelopes and Ibex. Prey preference estimates in southern India showed that the most
favoured prey of the leopard was the chital. A study at the Wolong Reserve in China revealed how adaptable
the leopard's hunting behaviour is: over the course of seven years the vegetative cover receded, and the animals
opportunistically shifted from primarily consuming tufted deer to instead pursuing bamboo rats and other smaller prey.
