A Cheetah is a large cat that is sort of like the cats we have but larger and vicious.
Speed
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world.
They can reach a top speed of around 113 km per hour.
Habitats
Cheetahs once lived in Africa and Asia.
But predators like Lions hunt their young.
People have been cutting down trees and building fences and have been making
the cheetahs habitats smaller.
Predators
The predators of cheetahs are mostly lions.
Lions mostly stalk the young when the mothers are looking for food.
Characteristics
The cheetah is a very easy animal to spot because it has a black line of fur
Coming from the eye.
It has spots all over and big stripes all over its tail.
Eyesight and Prey
Cheetahs can only hunt on the daylight and cannot hunt at night because they can't see.
Cheetahs eat Antelope,Springbok,Steenbok,Duikers,Impala and Gazelle.
They also eat the young of larger animals such as Warthog,Kudu,Hartebeest,Oryx,Roan and Sable as well as Game Birds and Rabbits.
Cheetahs hunt for mostly animals made of meat because they are carnivores.
Don't get to close to a cheetah because you can't predict what it will do next.
