Cheetahs

Asian Leopard Cats live alone and are nocturnal in behavior. They prefer brush and forest as their habitat. They make their dens in hollow trees, small caves or under large roots and, living in a wide variety of environments and have an unusually wide variety of skills. For example, they often live near water and are great swimmers and fishers. They are very agile climbers - very much at home in the trees, hunting for birds, squirrels, tree shrews and other prey. Indeed there are some reports of tropical Leopard Cats being totally tree dwelling in their nature.

if you are reading this you may be curious or working on a project like i am. good luck hope you find an answer for this question cause i cant *sobs*

The cheetah weighs 21–72 kilograms (46–159 lb).

The cheetah population is declining world wide as a result of lost land and prey this has coursed further competitions from other larger predators for the little available prey. On top of this the mortality rate for cheetahs is very low in the first few weeks of life, up to 90% of cheetahs are killed in the first 5 weeks by predators. All these problems can be linked to the fast declining in availability of land which cheetahs and other animals can roam in. With a smaller habitat comes greater pressure from other predators. Cheetahs are less aggressive then other animals and this affects their food intake cheetahs only having a 50% chance of catching and keeping their prey, often losing prey to more aggressive animals such as lions. With lose of land also come lose of certain terrain such as mountains and thick bushed, useful for cheetahs to hide in and protect their young from predators. Cheetahs having a very high mortality rate and a low sperm count this is reflected in their population. A further problem for the cheetah population is their lacks in genetic variation as a result of inbreeding and a fragmented population. Conservation plans are in progress to solve these problems and create more genetic diversity and prevent further population fragmentation, while also trying to increase the international cheetah population.

the cheetah is the fastest animal in the world

Speed is speed. There's no difference between "animal speed" and "machine speed".

Cheetahs can run faster than 60 mph(for a short time). During that time they'll be faster than a car travelling at 60 mph

Cheetahs are beautiful wild cats, that can run at amazingly fast speeds. They get around by running, walking and climbing.

The Classification of the Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) # Kingdom: Animalia # Phylum: Chordata # Class: Mammalia # Order: Carnivora # Family: Felidae # SubFamily:Felinae # Genus: Acinonyx Not all the listings I found had the "SubFamily: Felinae" Listed. Some had just left it out all together. So, for more information see sites listed below.

Yes.

Head and body, 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m); tail, 27.5 to 36 in (70 to 91 cm)Weight:100 to 250 lbs (45 to 113 kg)

Most mammals have 7 Cervical vertebrae that make up their necks. A Cheetah follows the majority with 7.

It has two defense mechanisms.

Speed - it is the fastest animal on earth. So, no animal can chase and catch an adult cheetah. However young ones aren't as fast and are fairly vulnerable

Camouflage - the skin of the cheetah is golden brown in color with black spots. This is similar to the color of the grasslands where they live and hence it is not so easy to spot a cheetah.

they sleep

Yes, they do, because they have to see predators at night in the dark.
during the day they do but not in the dark

because they need to be fast to catch their prey
to help them run faster

A zebra can run between 30 and 35 miles per hour. Or about 500 feet per second. (35 times 5280 feet divided by 60 minutes and divided by 60 seconds)

Depending on how close you were to it when it went by, it could be a gray blur. But even at fifty yards in front of you, your eyes would track and follow, so that the zebra would be "still" within your field of focus. And thus would not be gray.

Bear in mind that white and black frames have to be flickering at a rate of 60 frames per second before starting to gray out. And that zebra is moving faster than that. But the Zebra's isn't winking in and out, your eyes are attracted to motion first, and you automatically track it. Thus letting the image resolve as a "still" against a blurred background.

If it catches it

Cheetah's are extinct in the wild in India. They were hunted to extinction by humans. They were declared extinct in the 1940's. The government of India is planning to breed cubs in captivity and re-introduce them in the wild. They are importing Adult Cheetahs from Africa and are planning to breed them in captivity and then once they grow up, they will be released into the wild.

it could effert the the rest of the other animals

All big cats except tigers hate getting into the water. They clean themselves by licking their body. The mothers may help clean up young ones by licking them

Tigers on the other hand love water so they get cleaned during their swims in rivers and lakes

yes, beecause a cheetah lives in a tree, and a squirell lives in a tree, so obviously a cheetah would eat a squirell

Yes, the cheetah is a land animal.

The female cheetah has baby kittens and does not lay eggs.
