ALL ABOUT CHEETAS

 Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 mph (113 km/h) in short bursts. Here are some key facts about them:

Physical Characteristics

• Slender bodies, long legs, and a flexible spine help them achieve incredible speed.
• They have black "tear marks" running from their eyes down to their mouth, which help reduce glare from the sun.
• Unlike other big cats, cheetahs have non-retractable claws, giving them extra grip while running.

Habitat & Range

• Found in Africa (especially in savannas and open plains) and a small population in Iran.
• They prefer open landscapes where they can use their speed to chase prey.

Diet & Hunting

• Cheetahs are carnivores, mainly hunting gazelles, impalas, and small antelopes.
• They rely on speed rather than strength to catch prey and usually hunt during the day.

Social Behavior

• Males sometimes form small coalitions (groups of brothers) to defend territory.
• Females are mostly solitary, raising cubs on their own.

Threats & Conservation

• Endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts with farmers.
• Fewer than 7,000 cheetahs remain in the wild.
• Conservation groups are working to protect them through reserves and breeding programs.
