In certain parts of the world, the Zebra shark is called the Leopard shark. And the vice versa goes for the Leopard Shark.
In order from top to bottom (not including my man Bernie Sanders):
Stegostoma tigrinum (Orectolobiformes; Stegostomatidae):
Triakis semifasciata (Carcharhiniformes; Triakidae):
Poroderma pantherinum (Carcharhiniformes; Scyliorhinidae):
Idk which parts of the world you are referring to, but this should illustrate how dumb common names are, whether you are correct or not.
Here, we have S. tigrinum, which looks like a cheetah when it is an adult, but is called a zebra shark (reflecting its striping as a juvenile).
T. semifasciata, which looks like a tiger, but is called a leopard shark (children and adults at aquariums oft call T. semifasciata "tiger sharks").
P. pantherinum, which looks like a leopard and is in the catshark family, and its common name reflects that pleasingly.
Honorable mentions to Helaelurus natalensis (Carcharhiniformes; Scyliorhinidae) for being called a tiger catshark, for being in the catshark family and looking like a tiger.
To Galeocerdo cuvier (Carcharhiniformes; Carcharhinidae) for looking like a tiger and a leopard, but being called a tiger shark.
And to Poroderma africanum (Carcharhiniformes; Scyliorhinidae) for looking like a zebra and being a catshark, but instead breaks free from a common name comparing it to existing land species, and being called, instead, the pyjama catshark.
