Seeing spots...a Big Cat Test



We've been through all the big cats now, and I just want to know one thing. Can you identify a big cat when you see one?


Let's start with the fur. Take a look at all the fur samples below, and see if you can identify them all.  And just to refresh your memory, here are their names:


Lion
Cheetah
Cougar
Tiger
Clouded Leopard
Snow Leopard
Jaguar
Leopard

If you can't identify all of them, look below because I will give you a big hint to help you out!







Can you do it now?   Keep scrolling to see the answers.  Study them well, because my next post will present the actual cats for you to identify!






How many did you get?  Comment and let me know!

I was right with all of them. I read about animals all the time. :)

I got all correct. :) I admit that for some time I used to have a problem distinguishing leopards and jaguars - I didn't notice that the leopard is much more slim and has smaller spots, plus I never remembered which one has small spots inside the rosettes - but now I learned to distinguish between all of them.

All of them! I guess leopard and jaguar are most easily confused if you don't have the habitat context.
