The '''Barbary leopard''' or '''North African leopard''' from the [[Atlas Mountains]] of [[North Africa]] has initially been described as a [[leopard]] subspecies (''Panthera pardus panthera'') in the late 18th century. Following [[genetic analysis]] in the 1990s, this population is grouped with the [[African leopard]] (''P. p. pardus'').<ref>{{cite journal | last = Miththapala | first =S. |author2=Seidensticker, J. |author3=O'Brien, S.

Leopards are rare in northern Africa. Only small populations persist in the Atlas Mountains of [[Morocco]] and [[Algeria]] in forest and mountain steppe in elevations of {{convert|300|to|2500|m|ft|abbr=on}} where the climate is temperate to cold.<ref>Cuzin, F.
