An adult cheetah has golden brown fur that blends with the long svannah grass, about the same color. cheetah cubs are the same, but they have long gray hair that sticks up to look like a patch of grass. as they get older they lose it.

Cheetahs do have spotted patterns on their fur that might actually help them hide; however, cheetahs do not use camouflage when hunting; they use their speed.


The speckled coat helps to break up their outline when viewed from a distance. A cheetah is more likely to use their good eye-sight, and speed to escape any danger.

Cheetahs are vicious predators. These vulnerable animals are known for sneaking up on prey with their number one tool: camouflage. A cheetah has spots on their skin, and their skin itself is yellow/orange. This helps it camouflage near trees or in the yellow grass. In conclusion, camouflage is important to many creatures, but to the cheetah the most.

Yes a cheetah can camouflage. it is a yellow colour with a perticular pattern of spots than can look like seeds on the yellow grass. they keep very low to the ground and this helps them camouflage even more.

Cheetahs use their speed and camouflage to hunt prey. Gazelle's, Impala and Springbok are the usual prey species as they are around the size that a cheetah can catch and kill.

They lie hidden in the grass and move close to its unsuspecting prey. When they are around 100 to 200 meters near the prey, they pick up a burst of speed and tackle the prey. They go for the throat thereby suffocating the prey.
