    Yes - it has that "blunt" shape that leopard's have, and more spots, and doesn't seem to have the marked black line running down from the eye and around the muzzle. I'd go with leopard on this one.

    Yeah - I went with cheetah b/c the spots aren't "rosettes" but solid...

    Yes - I thought cheetah at first too. But when you look at photos of leopards, the rosettes are mostly on the neck and body, not the head. Still, nice capture either way. I've seen so many photos of that particular landscape with "nothing there", it's nice to see that animals do occasionally turn up there! 😃
