What is boutcheetah?

Boutcheetah is the colloquial name for a mythical hybrid feline that reportedly exists in the northern Congo. It is usually described as a cross between a lion and a cheetah as its coloration is akin to that of a cheetah, but with the long mane and build of a lion. In addition, it has been reported to have a more round head than cheetahs, more like that of a lion. According to rumors, boutcheetah live in the forests and grasslands of the northern Congo and are extremely dangerous to humans.

Although there have been numerous attempts to capture or photograph a boutcheetah, there is no definitive evidence to support its existence. Most experts believe that the boutcheetah is a product of local folklore and mythology.
