A visit from Kate: Apple says Snow Leopard can haz prettier?

My friend, soon to be ex-"boss", and altogether standup human being Ben Richardson is the type of intrepid gentleman who notices differences between the picture of a snow leopard on his beater (special nerd preview) version of the new Mac OS, and the picture that they put on their website (http://www.apple.com/macosx/) when it hits the streets.  And then makes helpful animated gifs. Which leopard do you prefer?  This might be a breaking news story.

the (slightly) narrower eyed leopard is a little friendlier looking, it'd probably be easier to ride him around the Himalayas when yr looking for Yetis.

A for effort and a T for nice try.

yeah maybe they made the kitty look less sanguinary (what up visualthesaurus.com), but did they have to widen the nose, darken the complexion, deepen the lips? smells to me like somebody up in the Apple Castle has been readin GG...
