User:Awkwafaba for the hook suggestion. Thanks to
User:Eddie891 for sending me the description paper that allowed me to expand it.
Almost there. I really like ALT1, but the comment about the cheetah needs to be somewhere in the article. Happy with the source on good faith, article looks good and expanded within the window. QPQ not needed from this nominator, as they do not yet have 5 DYK credits. UndercoverClassicistT·

Personally, I favored ALT0 because technically the source doesn't directly compare the face to that of a cheetah's, it compares it to a close cheetah relative (Sivapanthera, which sometimes IS considered a cheetah). There isn't really any OR, just me being very conservative in my interpretation. I did add the requested comparison to the article, though, albeit slightly altered. Happy editing,

: Approved for either, then: I think ALT0 is slightly better sourced and ALT1 slightly more likely to hook the reader. Will leave it up to whoever promotes to make the call either way. Nice work. UndercoverClassicistT·
