Statement 3 is not correct: Like male Lions, male leopards also proclaim their territory by scent marking. Lions proclaim their territory by roaring and by scent marking. Leopards most frequently announce their presence by marking their area while patrolling. They communicate this by leaving their scent as a chemical cue to indicate their territory and even reproductive availability. Scents may be deposited on vegetation or the ground in the form of urine or anal sac secretions. It may vary from a powerful, musky scent to a subtle odour.
