Leopard, Panthera pardus
•Leopards were probably originally found throughout much of this region. Some fairly reliable reports of occurrences come from remote road-less areas of Rivers State. These include the Agge-Dodo barrier island Bolou-Orua’s Kada-Ogba forest and Oyeregbene south of Peremabiri.
•Ịjọ has an ‘old’ word edule (no cognates elsewhere) but in most languages it has been replaced by konu-owei (?fearful animal)
