    Range will be selling the rights very soon, and then we will need to borrow to refine etc, that requires equipment, equipment that costs $500mil+.

     

    That's how oil companies make their massive profits~ nevertheless our profits $$$$ will be a alot, we will be getting the short straw 30%-70% if we are lucky...after all the loan repayments~

    Difference between Leopard and Cheetah

     

    At a glance one could easily mistake a leopard for a cheetah, but if you take a closer look at them you'll see they are actually quite different.

    Here are some of the main physical differences between the two animals:

     

    Leopard

     

    •A very large, muscular predator, weighing 100kg and even more.

    •The leopard is a far more powerful animal compared to the cheetah.

    •The spots of the leopard are rosette in shape, covering the whole body as well as the face.

    •They have white eye-linings at the bottom of the eyes. The white colour assists its vision at night by amplifying light which is reflected off objects around it, into the eyes.

    •Just like a "true cat," all of its claws are fully retractable.

     

    Cheetah

     

    •They have a tall and slender build.

    •The head of a cheetah is quite small in relation to its body, when compared to leopard, making the cheetah more stream-lined.

    •Their nostrils are large in size to allow maximum oxygen in-take for their muscles, while running at high speeds.

    •Cheetah's tails are quite flat towards the end, acting as a rudder to balance it while running.

    •Instead of having rosette shaped spots, they have single large spots (like thumb prints), covering the whole body. The front of face has very few spots and is more a light brown colour.

    •Cheetah's have black "tear lines" which run from the eyes down to the sides of the mouth. They hunt mostly during the day, so the black "tear lines" help absorb light, to prevent a blinding effect from the bright sunlight.

    •The cheetah can only retract its dew claw. The dew claw is hooked onto an animal that it's hunting to try pull it down. The rest of the claws are non-retractable, just like dogs, giving the Cheetah better grip on the ground while running.
