Why do leopards/cheetas?
Their spots are for camouflage. The difference between them: Leopards are bigger and stronger with much more muscle, they can drag their kills into trees, but cheetahs are not strong enough to do that. In fact, cheetahs are more likely to lose their kills to stronger predators. While leopards can be a danger to humans, cheetahs are not. In fact, cheetahs have a history of being tamed to help hunters. Cheetahs have long, thin legs. Even though they can be taller than leopards, they weight significantly less because they have thin, streamlined bodies for running fast. Cheetahs also have long, dark lines running between their eye and nose on each side. They are sometimes called cheetah’s tears. Leopards spots are rosettes, while the Cheetah’s spots are smaller circles.
