Cheetahs

Cheetahs hunt by chasing the animal, mostly during the day when other predators are sleeping. The cheetah is the fastest animal on land. They can run up to 70 miles per hour! Since the cheetah is designed for speed and not long distance running, they sneak up on their prey to get as close as possible before the sprint. The cheetah will stalk a prey animal, and when it is not paying attention, the cheetah leaps out and runs toward it. The cheetah will try to trip the animal by pulling its legs out from under it as they run.

No. The fastest horses, bred and raced for short distances at speed, can reach 50 miles per hour. The top speed of an emu is 50 kilometres per hour (about 30 miles per hour). The advantage the emu has over almost any other animal (including a small, lithe cat) is its ability to make a sudden 180 degree turn while running at top speed, which enables it to outrun its predators.

family cats in your home

Yes. They have their feline hunter instincts and at the same time they learn by seeing their mothers.

We can keep some in captivity so they can survive without fear of being hunted, that is probably the best idea, because even if we make animals illegal to hunt, people will still do it. If you want to help directly, get a degree in zoology and open up a zoo and adopt chettahs.

1 mile = 1.609344 kilometer (rounded) 70 miles = (70 x 1.609344) = 112.654 70 miles per hour = 112.654 kilometers per hour (rounded) Following the statement of the question, this would be referred to as "fast", not "far".

1. a farting cheetah lol
2. a sailfish who ate too much beans lol
3. :-}

o cheetas do not have toes they have paws and it is just like a dog it has 4 nails

Cubs are usually reared in hidden areas like bushes and small caves. The cubs lay hidden and don't make any sound when their mother is out hunting. The mother cheetah frequently moves its young ones to ensure that other large predators like lions or hyenas don't pick up the scent of young ones and kill them.

In spite of all the effort from the mother, nearly 70% or more cubs get killed in the first year

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.

Male cheetahs take no part in raising the young ones. The females do it all by themselves.

Yes! You can! At the amazing worldwildlifefund.org, you can get gifts for donating too!

I am a professor at Stanford, and I teach biology, and I know that Cheetahs use their sense of taste through their whiskers, which, believe it or not, have little taste buds of their own on each whisker. :)

Cheetahs are better as pets than the other big cats - Lions, Tigers or Leopard. A Lion or Tiger, even if hand-reared, is still a killer that can turn on you. Cheetahs, on the other hand, do not generally attack humans, and adapt better to human contact.

However, there are many obstacles to owning a cheetah as a pet.

Depending on where you live, you might need expensive permits, or a lengthy application process before you are allowed to keep a cheetah. In some places you simply will not be allowed to legally keep a cheetah.

You will also need the facilities to keep a cheetah. You will need a fair amount of space, you'll need to build a secure enclosure to keep the cheetah in. You will need to spend time with it regularly.

If the cat does escape, it's likely to cause alarm or panic among your neighbors, so you will have to be prepared for that.

You will need to buy a lot of meat to keep the cat fed. Cheetahs are expensive to feed, and need around six pounds of fresh meat daily.

Cheetahs can live for 20 years in captivity, so you have to be prepared for that.

Ultimately, although the cheetah is the most tameable of all the big cats, it is not a domesticated animal, and even if reared from birth by humans, it is not going to be as tame as a dog or domestic cat. You will still need to behave carefully around it, or it could maul you.

Cheetah's are meat eaters and they can survive on the moisture content in the meat they consume. However they need to have a drink of water atleast once a few days. Cheetahs are like all other mammals and can die of thirst and dehydration if they don't drink for a week or so.

they ar generally lazy and swim near to the surface, usually friendly but they can also be dangerous

from a male cheetah and a female cheetah mating

You can't really ask a cheetah to curl his paw into a fist to find how big it is because, cheetah's have small paws but big hearts. The really big heart is not just for love, it is so when the cheetah is running at speeds of 68-75 mph that the muscles get supplied with fresh blood and oxygen. Of course the cheetah can only go that fast in short bursts. Like I said above, a bigger heart basically means more fuel for the cheetah's leg muscles. It's not just a big heart, it's also big lungs to help. When a cheetah goes that fast, is only when he is hunting and is about to bring down something for dinner. After a quick chase like that with or without dinner, a cheetah's heart rate is 200-250 bpm( beats per minute). After a cheetah has time to rest his resting heart rate would be 120-170 bpm. With big lungs and a big heart, a cheetah is able to run very fast. It's not just the heart and lungs that make the cheetah so fast. A cheetah's tail gives it balance when turning fast and a cheetah's spine is s shaped which can go up and down letting the lungs expand to let in fresh air with each breath. A cheetah's nails also give it good traction.

The female cheetah usually gives birth to 3-4 cubs (although more have been seen) The cubs stay with mother and are taught to survive for about 15- 18 months after which they move on. They generally live about 12 years.

The cheetah's fur is short and coarse. It is tan to gold in colour, and is densely covered with small, round, black spots. The fur also features black 'teardrop' lines down the cheetah's face which help minimise glare from the sun.

i run a 6 minute mile but i suppose anything from 10 or 12 downwards is good

An African cheetah is a carnivore, so it eats meat. They eat other organisms like antelope and gazelles.

Can you answer these animals questions? ... Is a taiga forest made most of evergreen trees? Where are evergreen ...
