Cheetah

      This animal called cheetah, they are mostly found in sahara africa. Cheetah in the wild divided into 2 groups: the females and males. Cheetah has distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting also method of differentiating cheetahs and leopards, a small head and ears, and long, powerful legs and its body cover by polcadot. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs cannot roar. However, they can purr like domestic cats.

Do you know cheetah is the fastest animal on land?, its speed can reach until 110 in just 3 secend. Its favourite food is antelope but not as you imagine. Cheetah need to work hard to get his favourite food coz antelop is frisky and the second fastest animal.

Reproduction :
Mating Season: Throughout the year. Gestation: Around 3 months. Litter size: 2-4 cubs

A female raises her cubs alone since adult male and female cheetahs mix only to mate. Mothers move cubs to new hiding places every few days. At 5 - 6 weeks, cubs follow the mother and begin eating from their kills.

Another extreme ability of the cheetah is their eyesight, their eyes are set high in their head and protected by their whiskers(janggut kumis). It is now rare and is one of the animals which is in danger of extinction.
