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.

It can reach top speeds of 96-101 kph (60-63 mph) Cheetah, common name for a large cat, found mainly in Africa but with small populations in Iran. 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. Wild cheetahs are highly inbred, as evidenced by the extreme lack of genetic variation in modern populations. Mature males generally travel alone or in groups of two to three males, often siblings, joining females only at mating time. The cheetah was formerly trained and used for hunting in Pakistan and India; it is now extinct or endangered in much of its range. It hunts by day, feeding mainly on antelopes In tropical Africa, where it lives on ope Read More Go to Site Cheetahs Votes:0 Cheetah The African Savannas The animal that I chose is one of the most well known organismsthat has a lot of characteristics. My organism that chose is thefastest predator and animal on Earth....the cheetah (chee-tah). Thecheetah lives in savannas. These savannas are like semi-deserts andcan be wet in some areas. A savanna is a large grassland with treesscattered here and there on the land. The plain is made out of lowand high grasses. If a few shrubs grow they will be very small. Thisis so because lately the years have been getting hotter. Scientistssay that 1998 was the hottest year ever! It could either be becausethe Earth is getting closer to the sun or that we are making too manygreenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) and the heat can't escape.

Description The cheetah is a rarely seen predator living within the Kruger National Park. Since they are few and relatively vulnerable they tend to be very careful to show themselves. However, one can be fortunate and see them crossing a road or one can see a cheetah family resting in the shadow of some rocks or a tree. They are small-headed, long-legged and wasp waisted. The typical head, body legs and the first two thirds of the tail are covered with black spots, different from the spots of the leopard, on a buffy background.
