Abstract: In this paper we characterize the phase portraits of the Leslie-Gower model for competition among species. We give the complete description of their phase portraits in the Poincaré disc (i.e., in the compactification of $\mathbb{R}^2$ adding the circle $\mathbb{S}^1$ of the infinity) modulo topological equivalence.
It is well-known that the equilibrium point of the Leslie-Gower model in the interior of the positive quadrant is a global attractor in this open quadrant, and in this paper we characterize where the orbits attracted by this equilibrium born.

Key words: predator-prey models, Leslie-Gower system, Poincaré compactification, global phase portraits
