Leopard And Cheetah

Answer 3

They are completely different animals, its like saying whats the difference between a lion and a cheetah. You can tell them apart because cheetahs have spots and leopards have more like black rings. Cheetahs also have the two black lines running down their face, so that it looks like they're crying. Aw. Leopards are the ones that climb trees.

Answer 4

A cheetah is the fastest animal in the world, you can distinguish him from the tiger and leopard by its thin body built for speed. the leopard is a yellow panther with spots. The Tiger is, the strongest of the cat family, and it's striped.

Answer 5

The Cheetah (derived from Sanskrit word Chitraka meaning "Speckled") (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that hunts by speed rather than by stealth or pack tactics. It is the fastest of all land animals and can reach speeds of up to 70 mph (120 km/h) in short bursts up to 500 yards (500 m). The cheetah is well known for its amazing acceleration (0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds which is faster than the SLR McLaren, the Lamborghini Murciélago and the F/A-18 Hornet).

Tigers (Panthera tigris) are mammals of the Felidae family and one of four "big cats" in the Panthera genus. They are superpredators and the largest and most powerful living cat species in the world[2][3]. The Royal Bengal Tiger is the most common subspecies of tiger, constituting approximately 80% of the entire tiger population, and is found in the Indian subcontinent. The tiger's beautiful blend of grace and ferocity led the legendary author and conservationist, Jim Corbett to remark - "The Tiger is a large hearted gentleman with boundless courage...".

Most tigers live in forests or grasslands, for which their camouflage is ideally suited, and where it is easy to hunt prey that is faster or more agile. Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers; tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes, and rivers. Tigers hunt alone and eat primarily medium to large sized herbivores such as deer, wild pigs, gaur and water buffalo. However, they also take smaller prey on occasion.

Humans are the tiger's only true predator, as tigers are often poached illegally for their fur. Also, their bones and nearly all body parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine for a range of purported uses including pain killers and aphrodisiacs. Poaching for fur and destruction of habitat have greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. A century ago, there were approximately over 100,000 tigers in the world; now numbers are down to below 2,500 mature breeding individuals, with no subpopulation containing more than 250 mature breeding individuals[1]. All subspecies of tigers have been placed on the endangered species list.

and

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the four 'big cats' of the genus Panthera. Originally, it was thought that a leopard was a hybrid between a lion and a panther, and the leopard's common name derives from this belief; leo is the Greek and Latin word for lion (Greek leon, λέων) and pard is an old term meaning panther. In fact, a "panther" can be any of several species of large felid. In North America, panther means puma and in South America a panther is a jaguar. Elsewhere in the world a panther is a leopard. Early naturalists distinguished between leopards and panthers not by color (a common misconception), but by the length of the tail - panthers having longer tails than leopards.

Answer 7

There are a lot of differences, they don't share a genus even. In the broadest terms:
Cheetahs are the smallest and most slender of the three. They live in Africa, are buff spotted with black "tearstreaks" down from their eyes to their muzzles, run fastest, and have non-retractable claws.
Tigers are the largest; they live in India and Asia, are orange striped with black, and take large prey.
Leopards are intermediate in size; they are tan spotted with black, can climb trees, and live in Africa and India/Asia.
