Cute Cheetah meowing

The cheetah is a large cat native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, estimated to be capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h, and as such has several adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail.

Speed: 80 – 130 km/h (Running, Estimated)

Mass: 21 – 72 kg (Adult)

Species: A. jubatus

Class: Mammalia

Family: Felidae

Genus: Acinonyx


CHARACTERISTICS :
Cheetahs have distinctive spots and black, tear-shaped stripes that stretch from the inner corner of each eye to the mouth. Cheetahs have small rounded heads, long necks, deep chests and claws that are non-retractable. The legs of the cheetah are long, slim and muscular.


BEHAVIOR:
Cheetahs are very timid and avoid lions and hyenas at all costs. Their fresh kill is often taken by an intruding hyena or lion because the cheetah is too timid and tired to put up a fight. Many times cheetahs are even threatened by their prey.

NOISE:
Cheetahs produce a variety of sounds including growls, purrs that generally denote contentment, chirps (between a mother and her cubs), and an "explosive yelp" heard by humans from 2 km (1.24 mi.) away. Moans, growls, hisses, and spitting vocalizations are generally produced in agonistic or combative situations.

APPEARANCE:
Cheetahs have an upper coat of fur that is tawny, pale buff or grayish white, with underparts that are paler and whiter. Black spots are set close together on the pelage with a series of black rings around the last one-third of the tail.
