The cheetah originated roughly four million years ago, before any of the other big cats. The oldest fossils have been found in North America in what is now Texas Nevada, and Wyoming. Until the end of the last Ice Age (about 10,000 years ago) the cheetah was common in North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Research suggests they evolved from the same common ancestor as the mountain lion (cougar, puma, what have you) and the jaguarundi about five million years ago. The common ancestor for all living felines lived about 11 million years ago.
Cheetah is a Hindi word which means spotted or variegated body.
