Difference Between Leopard and Cheetah:
No matter whether for Halloween or carnival: big cat makeups continue to enjoy great popularity. A tiger can be identified by its stripes, but most children and many adults cannot tell a leopard from a cheetah. This is mainly because the two animals are native to Africa and they look very similar. We will explain to you what the distinguishing features of the two big cats are.
The quickest way to recognize animals is by their bodies. The leopard is a large cat of prey with a powerful body. His body resembles that of a lioness. It weighs significantly more than the cheetah and has a large head. The cheetah has a slender body, small head and long legs. The two differ not only in their body structure, but also in their spots. The cheetah has smaller, completely black spots. Its trademark are the two black stripes that start under the eyes and run down to the mouth. The leopard's spots are black on the outside and brown on the inside.
Of course, if you make up yourself or your children as a cheetah, you don't have to stick to the distinguishing features and instead you can let your creativity run wild and experiment with motifs.
