The Barbary leopard (Arabic: نمر بربري) is a relict leopard population that persists in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, in forest and mountain steppe in elevations of 300 to 2,500 m (980 to 8,200 ft), where the climate is temperate to cold. In North Africa, the leopard preys on the Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus). The Barbary leopard used to be classified under Panthera pardus panthera, before being subsumed to P. p. pardus.
