them, holding on with their claws, and depend on 
the crushing bite of their powerful jaws. They 
swim very well and can often be splashing about 
in water on very hot days, as they apparently 
suffer from the heat. When the air is cool, 
however, they avoid wet or damp vegetation. They 
can climb, but do not approach the leopard‘s 
ability in this. They can survive in rocky areas but 
generally prefer to stay on level ground. They are 
not as well equipped with senses as one might 
expect. They apparently depend on their hearing 
while hunting. Their eyesight is not particularly 
good, and they cannot spot prey until it moves.
