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.

probably 2 inch the they are build for running rather than taking down bigger prey
How do you stop cheetahs being endangered?
well they are being caught from the jungle and grassy planes and been carefully perserved in wild life santuries well they are being caught from the jungle and grassy planes and been carefully perserved in wild life santuries well they are being caught from the jungle and grassy planes and been carefully perserved in wild life santuries
What does a cheetah's spine do?
A flexible spine on a cheetah is used for being able to bend it's back while running. First, it takes it's leap and then catches itself by putting it's front paws on the ground. Then, when it has to take another bound, it puts its back paws on the ground and that's were the spine flexes. it makes a kind of tear drop shape with it's body and then the spine curves in. So technically, the flexible spine on a cheetah is used for running.
What type of family does the cheetah have?
ones the mother cheetah has given burth the dad cheetah leaves the mom to defend for herself and her cubs. usually only a few of the cubs survive due to dehidration,starvation,lions,lepareds,humans(poison,habitat loss,cars and gun shot)and death of perant.the mother cheetah will take care of the cubs and teach them how to survive until matchorety,then the boy cheetahs will stick together and hunt together but the girl cheetahs will be loners.
No cheetahs do not drink blood because they are fast mammals that eat dears

What places can a cheetah be found?
Cheetahs are predominantly found in the savannas of Africa and India. The Asiatic cheetah can be found in India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan etc. The African cheetah is found in countries like Kenya, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe etc. Numbers wise, the African species is more populous than its Indian cousin.
What does being held in captivity mean?
To be put into a cell, like at a zoo, but this term can be used for people too. Prisoners of war, slavery, and other things like that are good examples of being held in captivity. Another example would be a cat, completely dependent on a human for life, but takes every chance to be its own being and to get away. A cat might need us for life, but they are naturally independent... we just domesticated them and now they have no choice but to put up with us.
The Cheetah moves swiftly and stealthily
cheetahs moveart o their legs because that the stronges part of their legs and with sotron;y push there self were in a level they go in to air so fast you dont see it all the time unless is cought in slow motion camera or in any picture.
Does a cheetah have a backbone?
Yes. They are vertebrates (backbone animals), like mammals, fish, birds, and reptiles.
Amphibians are vertebrates,So yes.
Yes.Every amphibians have a backbone and also reptiles.The joints in between the individual vetebrae allow the backbone to be somewhat flexible.
All reptiles and amphibians, except for crocodilians,have three chambered hearts.The crocodilians need more efficient four- chambered hearts like ours, because of their size.
They are vertebrates, they do.
Yes, amphibians are vertebrates (meaning they have backbones.)
Yes.
How are cheetas able to run fast?
Cheetas are able to run fast because of their lightweight, streamlined bodies, long legs that can take them 8m in a single stride and long, powerful tails.
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.
Mostly man. If cheetahs go off the Game Reserve and attack humans or domestic livestock, the locals will hunt them down. They are very fast and very alert. I don't imagine anything else hunts them with much success .
Are cheetah coldblooded or warm blooded?
Cheetahs are mammals, therefore they are warm-blooded. Cheetahs are mammals, so they share all of the characteristics of mammals. This includes live birth, being warm blooded and having a spinal column.
They are warm blooded like all mammals
Why is the cheetah in the animalia kingdom?
The Two Kingdoms are Plantae and Animalia
Since the cheetah is not a plant, and is an animal, it belongs in the Kingdom Animalia.
Cheetahs are generally solitary animals. However, males will sometimes form a coalition of 2-3 other males to protect a territory.
Does a mother cheetah feed it's young?
Yes! She supplies her milk for them and when the are old enough she will bring them meat, (antelopes, etc.) she will at some point teach them how to hunt on their own (with help and pointers of course.)
Why is a cheetah called a cheetah?
Cheetahs hunt by stalking their prey, and then jumping out into running position, then with all of their legs- front legs almost touch the back legs and back legs almost touch the front, then the cheetah stretches out its legs far, and countinues to do that until it catches its prey. They hunt to survive, and they are also better at surviving than tigers:]
How do animals adapt to their environment in the savanna?
there are lots of plants and trees and water & shelter & other stuff
What are the enemies of a cheetah?
Cheetahs are the smallest of the large predators on the African savanna. They can be overpowered, injured, or killed by lions, leopards, hyenas, African wild dogs, and even baboons. Cheetah cubs are especially vulnerable, and will be killed and even eaten by any of the above animals. The cheetah's mortality is very high during the early weeks of its life; up to 90% of cheetah cubs are killed during this time by lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, or even by eagles. Cheetah cubs often hide in thick brush for safety. Mother cheetahs will defend their young and are at times successful in driving predators away from their cubs. Coalitions of male cheetahs can also chase away other predators, depending on the coalition size and the size and number of the predator. Because of its speed, a healthy adult cheetah has few predators.
Despite their speed and hunting prowess, cheetahs are largely outranked by other large predators in most of their range. Because they have evolved for short bursts of extreme speed at the expense of their power, they cannot defend themselves against most of Africa's other predator species. They usually avoid fighting and will surrender a kill immediately to even a single hyena, rather than risk injury. Because cheetahs rely on their speed to obtain their meals, any injury that slows them down could essentially be life threatening.
Mainly lions, but also hyenas and leopards. Also man.
They eat less coarse, easily digestible plants and leaves, including soft grasses and shoots.
Gazelles are herbivores (plant eaters) so they eat grasses, flowers, leaves, and fruits.
Zoos
In captivity, gazelles eat alfalfa, hay and grain. In the wild they eat low vegetation, grass and leaves.
