The search results will be different,  although in terms of fashion they are so similar. I always think of cheetahs (the real ones) as the ones that are the fastest land animals, and leopards are more like the rest of the big cats that do chase down their prey but not with the speed of cheetahs. Subtle differences in markings too. Both such beautiful animals!  I love that we can borrow their style without hurting them. <a href="http://africafreak.com/top-10-major-differences-between-cheetahs-leopards/" rel="nofollow">http://africafreak.com/top-10-.....-leopards/</a> Anonymous on "Ever wonder about the difference between leopard and cheetah print?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ever-wonder-about-the-difference-between-leopard-and-cheetah-print#post-1756363 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 19:40:17 +0000 Anonymous 1756363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm sure the leopard and cheetah are also happy that the prints are faux!

I was just wondering about the difference some time ago, but never went to check. chewyspaghetti on "Ever wonder about the difference between leopard and cheetah print?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ever-wonder-about-the-difference-between-leopard-and-cheetah-print#post-1756240 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 14:18:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1756240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Now I know!

The fashion industry often gets this wrong in terms of "labelling". And yes -- "it matters not a whit, unless you're a cheetah."  Poor cheetahs may need their own lobby group.

And it matters not a whit, unless you're a cheetah.  ;)
