CHEETAH
My favorite zoo animal is the cheetah because it looks nice and cuddly. The cheetah lives in open woodlands and grassland, in Africa and the middle east. Scientists believe that cheetahs originated in Southern Asia. Cheetahs are nice, spotted, and are the fastest animals on the land. Once in a while males will travel with two or three other cheetahs. Someday I would like to meet a cheetah.

Has a similar body weight to the leopard (50 to 60 kg/110 to 130 lb) but has a longer body, much longer legs, and a smaller head.
