Ermmm, technically they are. Black panther is a jaguar (or leopard) with a reverse-albinism.



Lol and they are not the ones creating threads like “I broke up with my gf because of this”.
Their entanglement is very uncomplicated grin

5— Porcupine and Hedgehog



Pic 1: Porcupine
Pic 2: Hedgehog
Pic 3: Leopard taking a chance with a porcupine, what do you think happens next?


I can easily tell these two apart having held both at same time.



Hedgehog(known as idiot by many Nigerians) is smaller in body size. It quills are shorter but fuller.

While growing up, we used to see them while going to 5:AM mass.

Porcupine on the other hand is bigger, has visible tail and longer quills.

Killed it when I was 15 and its still the sweetest bushmeat I have tasted till date.

Very enlightening post from an intelligent lady no doubt, but work on your attitude as you most times come of as a frustrated person. I'm a social psychologist and I am talking from the point of knowledge

Also, some of them are associated with specific geographical locations.

The bison, alligator and jaguar are new world animals: they're found in the wild exclusively in the Americas. The alligator being an exception can be found exclusively in the US and also in China. There are no alligators in Africa.

The leopard, crocodile and Cape buffalo are old world animals; Cape buffalos roam the continent of Africa while the leopard and crocodile can be found both in Africa, Asia and Australia.

I don’t know what he is on about. If you search this topic online, animals you would see are not animals Nigerians can even relate to- so there was no need copying such. I think an argument here prompted me to create this.

I know many people who are old and still watch cartoons, although peeps of nowadays prefer anime(i only like Naruto, Tokyo Ghouls and Death Note), people still love cartoons, though I miss fairly odd parents.

It was Just last month on one or nairaland topic that I found out there is an animal called a caiman that look quite similar to an alligator. If I had seen it before that time, I would have called it an alligator or even crocodile.

Lol. Same here, except on close observation, I will still call it a crocodile. I tend to call all of them crocodiles, easier to pronounce. Small crocodile, big crocodile... grin grin
