I have changed my spotting as Leopard and add it to the captive animals mission.

You're welcome. As it is captive on Project Noah we ask that you indicate this under Habitat. There is also a Capive Animals mission you can join and add your captive animals spottings to: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7973468

Thank you DanielePralong. Yes it was in captive.

Hi PampaMistri! The cheetah is the one with the black lines running from the eyes to the nose. The cheetah's spots are also a solid black, whereas the leopards spots are more of a cluster of black spots,called rosettes. The cheetah is extinct in India, and Sikkim was not part of its range. Is this animal captive?
