Cheetah hints:
The cheetah is the world's fastest land animal. It can run 70 miles per hour! (That's faster than a car on the freeway going the legal speed limit!)
It's body is built for speed. It has long, slender, muscular legs. It's lankier than the other large cats of the Serengeti. It has a long neck and flexible spine. It has special pads on its feet for traction, and a long tail to help it keep balanced.
Cheetahs can run at full speed for only 100 yards. After that they get overheated. They have to catch their prey quickly or they won't get it at all. Cheetahs are carnivores who hunt during daylight hours.
It has dark brown lines that run from the inside of its eyes, down the side of its nose, to its mouth. These lines help keep sunlight out of the cheetah's eyes while running (just as football players put dark paint under their eyes while playing in the sun). It has black oval spots on its coat. Another interesting fact: It can purr, like other cats, but it can't roar.

A is a cheetah because it has a longer neck, and B is a leopard because in the first picture, it looks like it’s roaring! I’m just doing this for fun.
A= cheetah because cheetahs have skinner bodys and leopords have more bulky bodies. Also leopords have no facial marks besides their rosettes. Chetahs have two lines going down their faces. Did you know that cheetahs have spots and leopords don’t! Leopords have rosettes that looks more like circles.
well I know that picture B is the leapord because leapords are bigger( in size) than cheetahs.
I think that A is the cheetah and B is the leopard. They're both so cute!
I actually think they are both leopards because they have the same stripped tail black and white. ;:)
I think the answer is A is a lepard and B is a cheetach
A is the Cheetah and B is the Leapord
