Thank you for sharing all sorts of leopard stamps!
Nice that you found four leopards from different countries. And interesting to know how the leopard got its spots!
Fun collection of leopards. I also enjoyed the story from the link.
Kipling would then disagree about a "leopard changing its spots"!
