Cheetah's are so Amazing!


Cheetahs are a large feline animal and it is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx. Cheetahs eat mainly gazelles, wildebeest calves, impalas and smaller hoofed animals. The fastest land animal in the world, the cheetah is a marvel of evolution. The cheetah's slender, long-legged body is built for speed. Cheetahs are tan in color with black spots all over their bodies. They can also be distinguished from other big cats by their smaller size, spotted coats, small heads and ears and distinctive "tear stripes" that stretch from the corner of the eye to the side of the nose.

            Cheetahs are very talented and amazingly cool animals. It is crazy that they can run up to 75Mph at their fastest speeds. Cheetahs are the one of my favorite animals in the world they are very interesting animals overall. Cheetahs usually have up to 2-4 babies in their litter at a time and their matting season is all the time.

            All in all cheetahs are my top wild animals and I would love to go to Africa just to see these beautiful creatures. They are actually endangered animals and were 100,000 of them in 1900 and now there are only about 9,000 to 12,000 of them around today. People use their furs to sell them for big money on the black market. Well that is my insight on cheetahs they are my favorite wild animals in the animal kingdom.
