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 litters do cheetahs have?
Cheetah's mate and reproduce all year round. They don't have any mating season as such. After a gestation period of around 90 to 98 days, a female give birth to a litter of upto 9 cubs. But, the average litter size is between 3 to 5 cubs. The cubs weigh an average of 150 to 300 grams at birth and stay with the mother for approximately 2 years. During this period, the mother protects her cubs and feeds them.
Is it important for a cheetah to live?
its important to protect cheetahs because they are part to our ecosystem and life cycle some animals will overpopulate but they aren't really important. Cheetahs are only for the people to watch them run in grass not to kill them.
sorry i am only a fifth grader but if this helped i am really happy...
Why is the cheetah in the Chordata phylum?
To answer the question in the simplest way, the cheetah has a backbone.
However, there is more to it than that, especially given that there are two invertebrate chordate groups - Urochordata (tunicates) and Cephalachordata (lancelets) - whose backbone is not in the form of actual vertebrae.
As Chordates (or members of the phylum Chordata), cheetahs share the following characteristics:
- dorsal nerve cord which is a bundle of nerve fibres which runs down the back. It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
- notochord which is a cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord - in the case of the cheetqh, a spine.
- post-anal tail - an extension of the body past the anal opening. (This feature is not always present in some adult Chordates such as frogs and humans, but it is present in the cheetah.)
- Pharyngeal pouches - Chordates, at some stage of their life, have pharyngeal grooves and pouches that develop into other essential parts of their anatomy.
Frogs can jump well because they have very powerful muscles in their hind legs.
Is a cheetah taller than a leopard?
Leopards like to live in trees. They can pounce down on some unlucky animal to have for dinner. They are excellent climbers.
Cheetahs like the ground. They run so fast that they can catch any other animal to have for dinner. They can run so fast because they have feet resembling those of a dog. But that kind of foot is not so hot for tree climbing.
Is the cheetah unicellular or multicellular?
Can you see a cheetah with your naked eye? Then it is not just made of one cell.
What do cheetahs do in the fall?
They need to hunt and eat all the time to survive. They don't hibernate and their natural habitat in Africa is warm all year round.

Why are Amur cheetahs endangered?
There is no such thing as an Amur Cheetah, only Amur Leopards and Amur Tigers. Both are from the Russia-Siberia area. If you are referring to Amur Leopards, humans from Russia need space to live. Hence, they are pushing back the Amur Tigers and forcing the Amur Tigers into the Amur Leopards' habitat. Since the tiger is larger and stronger (physically more dominant) than the leopard, and both are soliditary animals (unless it is mating season), the leopards are being pushed into smaller habitats and seperated from each other. This not only makes it tough for the Amur Leopards to survive, but also to mate. The genetic pool available for mating is really small, so Amur Leopards are dying off. Unless immediate actions are taken, it is tough for the Amur Leopards to survive on their own.

Dumbest land animal in the world?
There are different ways of measuring intellect. But, in terms of survival, it looks like any of the animals that have survived in their environment and to propagate are intelligent enough.
Do cheetahs need protection from the weather?
Where cheetahs live, there isn't much change in the weather except the seasons, so they usually don't need protection.
Cheetah is the national animal of which country?
For a map showing the current and historic range of the cheetah, click on this link.
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.
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.
What animal is the predator of cheetahs?
There are no predators that would hunt a cheetah.
There are no predators that depend on cheetah for prey, however any big cat will endevour to kill any other big cat in its territory.
How does cheetah get food and digest it?
A cheetah will expell almost 99% of its energy when using its blazing speed to catch its prey. The internal temperature of a cheetah will increase exponentially during its race to catch the prey. Once caught and killed, the cheetah will lie next to its prey and rest before feeding. Then as any other predator of its nature, the cheetah will eat with others.
Does the cheetah have enemies?

How do cheetahs hunt for their food?
Cheetahs sneak up in the tall grass until the prey is well in reach. Then they zoom forward, coming up next to the now-running for cover gazelle. They completely turn to face it and tackle it, biting it on the neck as it goes down.
The cheetah stalks its prey from about 50 feet away. Then when the time is right it jumps out and runs after its quarry. Its grabbs its prey by the neck the suffercate it and then takes it to a hidden spot to eat it
.
A cheetah the fastest land predator on earth. It is able to chase down just about any animal. It will then grab the prey by the neck and hold on until the animal is unconscious.
