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.

How many bones in a cheetah?

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

What does a cheetah use for protection?

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.

How fast does a zebra have to run until it looks gray?

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.

Are cheetahs the fastest land animal?

What is the cheetah's acceleration?

A Cheetah can accelerate as fast as a Ferrari. In Numbers, it can accelerate from 0-100kph in just about 3 seconds, a few strides. The maximum speed of a Cheetah is 114km/h and it will mantain this speed for a short distance before stopping to rest for a long time to cool down. So the cheetah acceleration is unmatched, compared to the best sportscar available. (talking about 0-100km/h, the car would continue to accelerate after that, and the cheetah doesn't).

Where is the cheetah found?

As cheetahs and humans both originated from the plains of Africa their association goes way back into prehistorical times.

What is a cheetah's length?

The adult cheetah weighs from 35 to 72 kg. Its total head and body length is from 110 to 150 cm. The tail alone can measure 60 to 84 cm in length. Cheetahs are 66 to 94 cm tall at the shoulder. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads, but there is not a great variation in cheetah sizes and it is difficult to tell males and females apart by appearance alone.
A cheetah's body 115 to 135 centimeters(45 to 53 in) long. It's tail is 84 centimeters(33in) long.
cheetahs are usually 4 feet in length

What is it about baby cheetahs that make them seem bigger to predators?

The nape, shoulders and back of cheetah cubs are thickly covered with long bluish grey hair. This downy underlying fur, called a "mantle", gives them a Mohawk-type appearance; this fur is shed as the cheetah grows older. A study noted that this mane gives a cheetah cub the appearance of the honey badger and this could act as a camouflage in both animals. Most animals, even large predators, will avoid contact with a honey badger. They are vicious fighters. Cheetah cubs are highly vulnerable during the first few weeks of their life; mothers keep their cubs hidden in dense vegetation for the first month.

Do cheetahs get in fights with other cheetahs?

The female cheetah will find a male cheetah and make herself available. The male inserts his penis into the female's vagina. Then the male will ejaculate sperm into the female's reproductive system. This fertilizes the ovum that is freed in the female. The process is similar to the conception of a human child or the young in all mammals.
In a similar manner to any other mammal.

The Male Gets on top af the female.

Pretty much like domestic cats and dogs, but with a bit more snarling.


For Cheetah there is no regular breeding season. Cubs are born in all year around. They achieve sexual maturity at approximately 20-23 months old. The female in heat squirts urine on bushes, tree trunks and rocks to attract a male. Since males and females know each other because their hunting ranges overlap, the receptive female responds to the yelp by a dominant male and mating occurs immediately. They stay together for 1-2 days and mate several times.
Mating can take place year-round, but peaks during the rainy season (November to May). Like most cats, cheetahs are mating-induced ovulators, which means that they do not ovulate until after mating has occurred.
