Q: How can you tell the differance between a cheetah and a leopard, they both look the same?

A: Brainyblonde Leopards have rosette-shaped spots. Cheetah have solid round, or oval, spots. Leopards have no "tear" line. Cheetah have a black "tear" line running from the inside of the eye to the mouth. Leopard are bulkier and stronger. Cheetah are lighter, but taller, than leopard. Leopard have a familiar "cat" shape. Cheetah are lankier than the "cat" shape. Leopard hunt at night. Cheetah hunt during the day. Leopard like to drag prey up trees. Cheetah prefer grassy plains. Leopard rely on stealth. Cheetah rely on speed (up to 115km/hr) over short distances. They are the world's fastest animal. Leopard have strong teeth and jaws and can crunch through thick bones. Cheetah have smaller teeth and jaws, leaving a larger nasal cavity for rapid breathing. They cannot crunch large bones. Leopard walk using their legs diagonally (left front, back right etc). Cheetah pace: they walk moving two left legs, then two right legs. Source.: http://funadvice.com/r/14npi8t7f1m

A: They look incredibly different if you actually compare the two. Cheetah's have different spots from a leopard, and a different build. They're a bit leaner. And the black marks down from the eyes on a cheetah are a dead give away.

A: Leapards of black rings not spots.

A: they look completely different. good a picture of both and you'll see the difference. basically a cheetah has a skinnier build than a leopard, there designed to run fast, they have black markings around the eyes and are a yellow/black colour. leopards are an orangy/black colour (not yellow) and have a more solid build, a bit like a female lion, or a jaguar (which is commonly mistaken for a leopard)
