Somalia Posted June 6, 2012 You know, since it is the national animal? I always mistook it for the Cheetah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonLight1 Posted June 6, 2012 World leopards distribution. .....The leopards are dispersed over a wider area today, than that of any of the other large cats. Ranging across most of the African continent, with the exception of the Sahara Desert rgeion. Throughout parts of Asia Minor and the Middle East to India, Pakistan, China, Siberia, much of mainland southeast Asia, and the islands of Java and Sri Lanka. The size of the leopard varies greatly in different geographical regions. There are subspecies of large leopards in Iran and West Africa and small subspecies in Somalia and Java. The leopard averages between five and eight feet in length and weighs from 60 to 210 pounds in the wild. Distribution of the leopard reflects the diverse adaptability of the group, extending throught the African continent and much of southeast Asia, including the Arabian peninsula and Indonesian islands. It is at home in woodlands, lowland forests and mountain heights, savannas, and even dry steppe habitats. The leopard's remarkable adaptability to different environments is an indication that it is basically an unspecialized animal, favoring forest and forest boundary habitats where it can utilize trees for protection and observation platforms........

Bluelicious Posted June 6, 2012 You are right about it being the national symbol and I quite like it The cheetah is the fastest animal of the whole world and animal kingdom. It's common to mistake a leopard for a cheetah but there is simple easy trick to differentiate between the two. Cheetahs are slimmer and tall and leopards are heavier and shorter. It's my favorite animal. So Somalia why the sudden interest in the leopard. Are you planning to go on Safari? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done a written work about this years ago and I have a good memory. The Cheetah is slim and tall that's why he can run fast he doesn't have that excessive fat like a leopard or a lion. You can't be the fastest animal in the world and be heavy the two don't go together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wyre where did I write that you were an animal I was talking about the two animals you misunderstood me.
