Mtola8:

Only someone ignorant will be confused at such. Leopard and jaguar might be hard to differentiate but cheetah is the easiest and very different. The legs gives it away easily.

OTayobami:


Whether cheetah o or jaguar or leopard, wetin we sha know be say the three go use person do dinner by the time you stand say you wan differentiate

3— Alligator and Crocodile



Pic 1: Crocodile
Pic 2: Alligator (Alligators are darker)
Pic 3: Boss moves
Pic 4: Somewhere in Epe, Lagos, Nigeria. Some people see premium meat, some Himalayan Birkin...conservationists would be enraged.
That somewhere in Epe is probably Oluwo(Chief)market the town's main fish/animal market.

dangermouse:
Nice and educative. Not bobrisky and bbnaija shit. Kudos bae!

pocohantas:
It took me some time to know the difference between these animals, especially crocodiles and alligators. In fact, I used to call it anyone that comes to mind first . Sometimes you have to use their habitat to identify them, but that is if you even know a lot about them...lol

Some belong to the same family, some are not in any way related, but they have somehow succeeded in confusing lots of people.

Here is my list of some commonly confused animals and basic ways to distinguish them.

You come off as someone who struggles to mind his business. Work on that and keep your psychoanalysis to your clients, they pay you. This is a wildlife thread, not your consultation room.

Thanks

pocohantas:


That black line on the cheetah’s face is an easy expo for many people now. Once they figure that one out, they are okay. Na the jaguar and leopard still dey disturb many people.




Yes they are jaguars and leopards. There is no real/separate specie of big cats called black panther. You are welcome.

Unnerve:
Using size to differentiate a melanistic leopard from a melanistic jaguar (both black panthers), is not quite foolproof.

I'd rather use their tails, because a leopard's tail is almost as long as its body and very noticeable. The jaguar's tail is not as long as that of its cousin.



Meanwhile, can someone tell the difference between these two cats below?
With their specific names of course

that bison reminds me of appa. of course the "indomie generation" will not understand me

Dizzyrascal:
for this statement you deserve a cold beer. All this talk about Yankee always makes me sick, it good to know that there are people out there who want self improvement without running away.

Ishilove:

Their entanglement is very uncomplicated

pocohantas:


Only Marvel can tell... I don’t wanna say one thing and they will say another.

omenka:
One is a lion (the type you have in Kruger national park or the Serengeti), while the other is a Mountain Lion.

You can tell them apart mostly by their habitat and the mountain lion is a bit more furry while the males have no manes unlike their Lion cousins.

Right?

FlordFlorez:

The first pic is lioness while the second is mountain lion or cougar

NewDelhi:

There's no such animal called black panther. They are usually cougars with a genetic disorder.

Unnerve:

So right, lol.

I honestly thought this would be harder for most people.

dayveed1:
you know for many years now I have always thought Leopard is also the same animal as Jaguar. Thanks for the clarification but I still can't spot the difference.

Perceptor:

The one above is Lioness, the one below is cougar also called puma or mountain lion.
