eyes-of-the-cat: Differences between the Cheetah, Jaguar and Leopard.   Cheetah - Acinonyx jubatus: Fastest land mammals, can reach speeds up to 70mph. Spine flexes up and down when running.  Have a very unique anatomy compared to all other cats. ‘Lanky’. They have long legs, and a long back and tail. Tail has black bands towards the end. Black ‘tear marks’ run down from their eyes to their upper lips and cheeks. Their noses are always black. Eye colour is usually amber, but can be shades of brown. Their body markings are just simple black dots. No markings on their belly. Cubs often have moehawks and resemble honey badgers! Live in Africa and isolated pockets of Iran   Jaguars - Panthera onca:   Love water! Wild jaguars have been known to get high. They seek out caapi roots and gnaw on them until they start to hallucinate! Burly and muscular. Short upwardly arched back, with a thick neck and short legs. Solid thick black markings on tail.  Big square shaped head, with widely spread apart eyes and a large muzzle. Eye colour can range from pale green to amber. Nose colour can range from light pink to dark purple. Markings on the face are solid black spots. They have less rosettes than leopards, but they are larger in size and are a round unbroken shape with small dots inside them. Have large solid black markings on their belly. Live in the Americas.   Leopard - Panthera pardus:. Their main talent is climbing, so if you see a potential jaguar in a tree, it’s probably a leopard. More delicate looking than jaguars. Have long backs and tails, but quite short and stocky legs. Large round head, with a fairly small muzzle. Large pretty eyes, which can be blue, green, yellow or amber. Markings on the face are solid black spots. They have lots of small rosettes which are densely packed together. They have no dots in the middle of the rosette, unlike the jaguar.  No markings on their belly. Live in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.   One of my biggest pet peeves, when people mess these up.. and also tigers.. So here, learn the differences :D
