Let’s start with seeing the differences in those two big cats that have black spots on gray; the Clouded leopard and the Snow leopard.
Again, the IKs* are short and easy…these two leopards will be a snap to identify!
Snow leopard IK: Black rosettes with gray centers
Clouded leopard IK: Black square blotches with gray centers…similar to a tortoise shell in pattern.
Okay, so what cat is in the photo above? How about below?
