KJV Usage: leopard
UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
noun, f. | -εως
4.13 · Animals · Animals
leopard refers to two members of the large cat family: Panthera pardus - leopard; about 2 m in length and yellowish brown with black spots arranged in rosettes all over the body and tail; hunts by stalking prey; and Acinonyx jubatus - cheetah; spotted but are slightly smaller and have longer legs than leopards; extremely fast; symbol of violent danger or of speed (cheetah) As in the case of the term for ‘bear’ (4.12), this reference to a leopard occurs in the NT only in REV 13:2 and is likewise used as a means of describing the apocalyptic beast. A term referring to a local type of leopard or jaguar would be perfectly appropriate, and in some languages a term referring to a mountain lion has been employed. In other instances the equivalent expression is based upon a phrase meaning ‘fierce, large, cat-like animal.’ A borrowed term may also be employed with a descriptive classifier, for example, ‘an animal called leopard.’
