A cheetah is different from other big cats in that it is built more like a greyhound. They have a long slender body with a flexible spine, long neck and small head. Their legs are lean and muscular with feet that have non-retracting claws and special pads for more traction while running at high speeds. On the face they sport their distinctive "tear mark" a black mark that runs down from each eye to their mouth. At a glance it is very obvious that these wildcats are build for speed.
Wild cheetahs live in eastern and southwestern Africa as well as Iran. They favor the wide-open grasslands for camouflage when hunting. Their numbers have dropped significantly with an estimated 9,000 to 12,000 left living in the wild. Cheetahs tend to be solitary usually females will live alone while 2 or 3 males may live together to claim and defend a territory in the wild.
Cheetahs do not mate until after they are three years old and mating happens though out the year without a specific mating season.

Although her use of this special "sixth sense" provides accurate information, it is also very limited. Esteemed for its speed and athleticism, admired fo more...0 points
