Cheetahs

The Cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus, is a member of the cat family, Felidae. They hunt by sight and speed, rather than by stealth typical of other big cats. The fastest of all terrestrial animals reaching speeds of over 110 km/hour (60 mph) in short bursts, it is the only cat that cannot completely retract its claws.

What does the cheetah eat in winter?

Cheetahs are "carnivores"-- they prefer to eat meat. Members of the cat family, their first choice would be to kill smaller animals like warthogs or gazelles. But like cats, when they cannot find animals to eat, they will hunt and eat birds. Since cheetahs tend to live in warm places where they can hunt, it is doubtful that winter would affect them; in hot climates, there are even animals to eat during the winter season. About the only time a cheetah might have problems finding food is during a severe drought.

What skill does a cheetah use to be a successful predator?

Cheetahs can run at very high velocities, although only in short bursts. This makes them a formidable predator in flatlands. However, they are very ill-suited to rugged or infrequent terrain.

How long do lions care for their offspring?

The female gives birth to a litter of one to four cubs in a secluded den usually away from the rest of the pride. She will often hunt by herself while the cubs are still helpless, staying relatively close to the thicket or den where the cubs are kept. After a few weeks she will rejoin the Pride along with her cubs. Once the cubs join the pride, the whole pride shares the responsibility of raising the cubs.
