Is this the same rod you call copper mamba rod???
 
My first thought when I saw this one was:

Clouded Leopard.

The colors aren't exactly right, but if you've ever seen one of these beautiful creatures in person, you'd appreciate it.

Of course, seeing as it happened 40 years ago this week (Aug. 15-18, 1969), you could always go with:

Woodstock or even Woodstock Acid Trip. (as in "Don't try the brown acid.")

Leopard comes the closest to fitting in with the other names. i still don't like it all that well. It still works with the "Snow Leopard" but this pattern is really not that close to a Leopard pattern. Of course from what I know of Mambas it looks nothing like one of those either.
Call it Sambo, He was a make believe cat anyway. A tiger, but still only a made up one.
two other names I can think of along that line (names of cats from ???)
Symba, and Magwa.
Sorry, I really tried to think of another Animal that this pattern could represent. i can think of a few but none would be commonly and easily known. Such as calling it the tiger cub, only most people do not know that a tiger cub actually starts out with spots.
Lady Bug is the best I have seen for that pourpose.

I am sure these have alrady been rejected,
Puma, Panther, Cougar, and Lion, as in Mountain.

a few that are not as commonly known
Ocelot,

My favorite af all when looking at the photo staying consistant with the other names and still having something some what recognizabel, and is pretty good at resemling the blank is Jaguar.

I change my mind. I call it Vegas. You've seen it..the night photo's of the car's driving down the strip...like a sped up freeze frame shot where all the lights are a blur. The blank seems to catch the lights, the whites of headlights, the oranges of the marker lights and tail lights and I think the blank will have the headlight affect when spinned.
 
Not sure if any of these suggestions have already been posted. There's way too many posts to go through to check. If I'm copying somonelses suggestion then please accept my appology and discard this post.
