Apple Announces Snow Leopard At 2009 WWDC

Can You Identify All of Mac OS X's Big Cats?

June 8, 2009

If you're a fan of Apple products (like me!), you surely know that the Macintosh operating software comes with some fantastic feline names. My pal geek is at WWDC today and told me all about the latest Mac OS X v10.6, named after the big cat seen below. I've gathered all the kitties featured thus far, so see if you can match their names to the pictures in this quiz.

This is not a panther. Panther, cougar, mountain lion are all names for the same cat. This is in fact a melanistic (black) leopard. Panthers do not come in black.

While a cougar (Puma concolor) is the same as a mountain lion or puma, there is a difference between leopards, jaguars, and cheetahs: http://www.petsugar.com/3271875

7/7 Also, Pet, someone mentioned this all ready but panthers, cougars, pumas and mountain lions are all the same cat. They're called different names depending where you live.

cougar, panther, and puma's are all the same animals just different people in different places call them different names, that's the problem with common names.
