You should have also put the difference between a leopard and a jaguar. In case you’re interested, jaguars are stocker, live in South America, and they easiest way to tell is that jaguars have a small spot in the middle of their rosettes, and leopards don’t.

I wonder… Is meowing a form of roaring for a housecat? They also have the ability to purr while inhaling and exhaling. Other than size, it makes me wonder what other differences the domestic housecat has from their larger cousins.

That would be an interesting What’s The Difference?

One more difference: Leopard (10.5) was five versions of OS X after Cheetah (10.0).

Cheetahs are the most closely related to dogs of any cat. They have a more canine build, and also non-retractable claws.

You know what? My dress is leopard printed. Its tag is misleading. Shame on Wet Seal…

Anyway, thanks Jason and Matt, for doing what I didn’t feel like Googling. I guess that officially changes my costume from cheetah to leopard.
