is this a leopard or a cheetah ? whatever, it was moving quite quickly up and down its cage and i managed to get one shot with its head vaguely in focus !
it’s a leopard. cheetahs are much skinnier, and just have plain circular spots, not the rosettes of a leopard. it’s also not a jaguar, because it doesn’t have smaller spots on the insides of its rosettes.
that being said, wonderful picture ^^
thanks jewel. good explanation. even i followed that. although i’ll probably forget about it for next time.
but then maybe next time i’ll think to look on the cage door and take a picture of the sign !
