Simple Tales presents Rudyard Kipling's playful classic How the Leopard Got His Spots from Just So Stories—a delightful tale of adaptation, clever animals, and natural camouflage.

Long ago on the High Veldt of Africa, the Leopard and the hunter had plain, sandy-yellowish brown coats that matched the hot, open plains.

Left hungry and visible like a "bar of soap in a coal scuttle," the Leopard and the hunter seek the wisdom of Baviaan the Baboon. Following his advice, the hunter changes his skin and presses his dark fingertips onto the Leopard's yellow coat, creating the iconic five-spot rosette pattern that allows the Leopard to vanish into the forest shadows.
