Cheetahs

One structural adaption of the cheetah: When it runs, its spine folds up, and as it stretches, it shoots out, allowing the cheetah to move almost twenty feet every lunge.

Its feet also allow for better traction at such high speeds and agile chases.

Most ducks and geese can fly at a speed ranging from 60 to 70 mph; although the cheetah can run as fast as 70 mph. However, the Pronghorn antelope has been clocked at close to 70 mph.

Cheetahs live whever there is enough prey for them to survive. This includes grasslands, savannahs, scrublands, and desert. They are known to live in areas throughout Africa, where the climate is tropical.

At top speed(60 mph/90kph),cheetahs can chase prey for up to 100 metres.If you measure the whole chase,it would be around 250 to 300 metres.

6.59/7.6 = 0.8671 hour = 52minutes 1.58seconds (rounded)

Actually Cheetahs are born with spots on the long Grey fur they are born with.

They are one of the only animals to be born with they're future characteristics

Example: Me having brown hair i keep it forever unless i die it same with cheetahs

dont hunt them and stay out of there habitat so they have as much room as possible

Yes. Female cheetahs, once that are grown, hunt and live alone. They only socialize when in heat and is seeking a male. After mating the male might hang around for a day or so but they still do not hunt together. The only exception would be if she had cubs. As the cubs grow the mother will go through stages of teaching her cubs to hunt. She will first bring back kills for them to eat. When they are ready she will catch prey and bring it to her young alive so they can practice hunting. When they are mostly grown they may help the mother hunt but often they leave their mother as soon as they come of age. Males are much more social and often hunt together. They sometimes live in small groups, usually consisting of brothers, called coalitions.

The cheetah is covered with fur. It is mainly a golden brown with black spots.

Lions, hyenas and jackals are threats to cheetahs. As are wildebeest if a cheetah chooses to hunt them. The Iranian cheetah, also known as the Asiatic cheetah, is threatened by desertification and poaching.

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.

They can sweat when the get hot, and when they get hungry they will feel hungry and hunt for food.

Sometimes, they do.

a mongoose is faster

Well in the grand scheme of things the closest thing we have in common is we're both mammals.

As for a more general sense, humans range from what we do with Cheetahs. Some hunt them illegally for their fur to make coats, but so much more are trying hard to save the Cheetah population from eventually going extinct in the wild. I'd like to think humans for the most part are trying to aid the Cheetahs to repopulate, because a majority of us don't want to see such a beautiful, unique animal disappear from the wild, especially when it's largely our fault that so much of their habitats have been destroyed.

One pounce for a cheetah each time can cover about 20 ft

The cheetah is the fastest land mammal in the world. The cheetah, can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m. It has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.

In terms of miles per hour, they can reach around 70 to 75 mph.

This is the Cheetah's greatest strength. However, they can sustain the speed for only short durations, typically around a minute. If they continue to run at top speed for over that time, they will die of exhaustion.

Cheetahs eat ONLY what they kill... they do not eat anything that was not killed by their kind.

Absolutely! Thousands upon thousands of people have been killed in hunting accidents with hunting guns. Hunting guns can be quite powerful due to the distance the bullets have to travel to hit the animal, as well as the type of ammunition used.

Ethical hunters deliberately use guns and ammunition that will provide a quick, clean kill to keep the animal from just being wounded and suffering needlessly.
