The difference between a cheetah and a leopard is that the cheetah is quite rare in Asia with a critically endangered population in Iran whereas a leopard lives in many parts of Asia. However, both live in Africa. The cheetah is quite faster and smaller than the leopard whereas the leopard is stronger and bigger than the cheetah. Even though both of them are yellow with black spots, the cheetah's spots are evenly packed but, the leopard's spots contain rosettes with no central spots. Unfortunately, the cheetah is least able to adapt to new environments but, the leopard is much more successful.
