Cheetahs are believed to have evolved from a common ancestor shared with other large cats around 10 million years ago. Their closest living relatives are the pumas and jaguars, which belong to the Felinae subfamily of the Felidae family. The modern cheetah, particularly the Acinonyx jubatus species, diverged from these ancestors around 3 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests that cheetahs once had a wider distribution, but their range has since contracted significantly.
