Cheetah - the fastest animal on earth, it can reach speeds of up to 110 km / h and accelerates to a speed of 60 km / h in just 2 seconds - faster than a Formula 1! It seems as if he hovers in the air.

Cheetah - adapted for life on the plains, where hunting is the primary means of survival. Typically, the cheetah hunts alone. It approaches its prey at a distance of 30 m and in the most opportune moment in a swift leap pounce on it. Cheetahs - gourmets. They hunt only on Thompson's gazelle, or (in rare cases) on the other antelopes and gazelles. Extraction of the cheetah - very clever, but nonetheless, it knocked her down with one blow.

Unfortunately, cheetahs are in a very precarious situation. After all, the cheetah - the kind fast dying cats: first, cheetahs, though fast running, but quickly tired, and secondly, they hunt only on Thompson's gazelles, and thirdly, they are harder to hide the pups, as they can not climb trees and they are not to aggressive, to show everyone who is boss. All this greatly complicates the ability of the cheetah to survive, and if no action is taken, then in a short time a cheetah can simply disappear from our planet ...

What do cheetahs eat - Although cheetahs settle on the same open plains as well as lions, hyenas, and inhabited by wild dogs, among them there is no competition, because cheetah hunts very fast and therefore inaccessible to other predators of the animals. However, they are not able to hide their production, but never against the scavengers eat it.

Cheetahs so unlike other cats that are marked in a particular subfamily. They did not retract its claws, there are no powerful jaws. They can neither growling nor climb trees. They have no whiskers and long, but it is hard to find a more graceful cat. Do cheetahs have 3 features in the structure to help him survive in this harsh world: firstly, it is his muscular and supple body, and secondly, its sharp claws that cheetah can not draw, unlike the other cats, and in- Third, long tail, which helps him keep balance while running. All this helps the cheetah to hunt.

But the cheetahs in the world are becoming less and less comfortable. Indeed, the popularity of safari and seeing the cheetah tourists start his photograph and a loud scream. The cheetah does not like screaming and other sounds, and, fearing, day goes farther into the woods, hunting at dusk or at night. This seriously reduces the number of successful hunts. In addition, the sight of tourists and heard loud noises, the cheetah often throws his prey, leaving her to be devoured by other animals, and she got him so hard!
