The cheetah is truly built for speed! Virtually every part of its body is adapted in some way to maximize running speed. Special paw pads and non-retractable claws provide great traction. Large nostrils and lungs provide quick air intake; a large liver, heart and adrenals also facilitate a rapid physical response. A long, fluid, greyhound-like body is streamlined over light bones. . But the great speed is very taxing physiologically. The top speed, 71 miles per hour can usually be maintained for only 200-300 yards.

Leopards are bigger than cheetahs, and they can take down bigger prey. They can take their prey up into trees to protect it from other predators that might steal their meal.

Also eopards are shy animals and usually live solitary lives and they are nocturnal, they prefer to hunt at night

NO.Leopards and cheetahs appearances are different totally. Cheetahs have a pair of black stripes down from its eyes to its lower cheeks (for preventing sun glare when spotting preys), they have longer and slimmer bodies and quick running. Leopards spots are orange in colour inside the black circle, whereas cheetahs have black spots only.

completely diff besides both of them being felines. cheetahs have incredible running speed to catch food, longer bodies, and overall diff while leopards climb trees and hunt victims at night, shorter in length i think.

No, they're different animals, but they are both big cats, and they have different patterns on their fur.
