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.

What is saving cheetahs from extinction?

we can get a good education and get a good job to become cheetah helpers or vets

Are cheetahs used for hunting by people today?

Cheetahs are killed illegally by some cattle herders who consider them a threat to livestock. Although cheetahs do often travel in the same areas as cattle, only a starving cheetah will ever attack cows. People used to hunt cheetahs for their pelts, which were considered a status symbol. However, people no longer do that.

Where do cheetahs stay - in what habitat?

The habitat for the Cheetah is in the Savannah and the lifestyles it has is that it is the fastest land animal and it eats animals like the Zebras.

Are there more meat eaters or more plant eaters?

In the Mesozoic, just as today, carnivores couldn't survive without there being far more herbivores than carnivores. For example, the most common dinosaurs in the Cretaceous were the herbivorous dinosaurs called hadrosaurs. In the Jurassic, the most common dinosaurs were sauropods, which were also herbivores.

How many nipples does a cheetah have to feed her babies?

i would guess 6. most mammals have 6. cats have 6 so tigers probably do too

How can people save the cheetah?

Help support the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia which cares for rescued cheetahs and educates the public and ranchers on cheetah conservation. The Cheetah Conservation Fund's goal is to ensure the long-term survival of the cheetah and its ecosystem through a multi-disciplined and integrated conservation program of research and education.

How does a cheetah protect itself around predators?

They run like heck outta there! Seriously, a cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, and if it can, can easily out run a pride of lions/lionesses or a lone leopard. Their camouflage helps hides it from lions, leopards and hyenas, even though these animals don't actually prey on the cheetah, but rather choose to steal the cheetah's meal. If a cheetah gets caught though, it tries to use its teeth and claws to fight the grip of the lion or leopard, but chances are the cheetah will lose in this battle if it cannot get away as fast as possible.

The Cheetah protects itself through coloring and its speed as well as teeth/claws and its fast running.

a cheetah does not generally need to protect itself but a female does need to protect her cubs. unfortunately their bodies are not built for fighting and protecting - more for running fast to catch prey. they can run at the animal that is disturbing it and try to scare it away and swerve around it whilst avoiding the attackers attacks by maneuvering around it with its agile body.

They protect themselves by using the claws and teeth

Cheetahs are big predators and don't have any predators except when they're born. 80% of cubs are eaten by lions. Cheetahs do not roar, but they hiss and chirp when confronted. They also are the only cats in the world that do not have retractable claws. They spray their territory for one defense, but the largest defense is also their offense.

Speed, cheetahs are made for speed. They are the quickest land mammals on the planet. Basically they combine Speed, claws, and teeth

with its teeth and claws

Cheetah can protect it self by running fast and use their teeth.
Cheetah's run from their predators, but after a while they can run out of breath. Cheetah cubs, however, are covered in a thick mantle on their coat, which is sort of like camoflaugh. When curled into a ball, the coat fools its predators into thinking the cub is a honey badger, (one of the fiercest creatures in Africa!)
It has a force shield around it and laser beams in their eyes, also their spots turn multicoloured to confuse the enemy

i know there would be others but the only one i can think of because it is so fast
Cheetah take out their claws and attack another thing is they warn the predators by hissing at them.
with there claws and there chest mighty strong

What physical adaptations do a cheetah have?

Cheetahs do not eat something they have not killed. They usually avoid fighting and will surrender a kill immediately to even a single hyena, rather than risk injury. Because cheetahs are generally loners and rely so heavily on their speed to obtain their meals, any injury that slows them down could essentially be life threatening.

Cheetahs also tend to be solitary cats. They do not tend to hunt in large groups.

When stalking prey, cheetah camouflage themselves in the grass.

What is the life span of a cheetah?

The lifespan of a cheetah is 12 to 14 years in the wild. In captivity they can live to up to 17 years of age.
the life span of a cheetah is 12 years of age then they die

though the oldest cheetah is 15 years of age

Were does a cheetah live in Africa?

Cheetah's are predominantly found in the jungles 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.

Do cheetahs have good eyesite?

Yes, cheetahs do have very good eyesight, mainly so that they can see their prey from miles away.

I'm not sure about this but they might have good eyesight so they can see in the dark when they are hunting?

Do cheetahs eat buffalo?

Yes, most cheetahs eat, on average, 2 or 3 owls a week. They usually eat the African Eagle Owl because they share the same territory. Most African Eagle Owls live in rock crevises, cave enterances, under bushes and in high grass and cheetahs stalk them and are fast enough to run and leap on the owls before they fly away.

What kinds of animals are related to cheetahs?

Cheetahs are felines, so they are related to other felines as the lion, cougar, domestic cat.

Recent DNA research indicates that cheetahs may also be related to the North American cougar and may have shared a common ancestor about 1.5 to 2 million years ago.

What is the habitat of the cheetahs?

the cheetahs habitat is mainly in the grasslands of East Africa , in national parks like the Serengeti or Masai Mara. However, cheetahs can range throughout any open country, from Savannah to scrubland to desert, wherever there is prey for them to survive on.

it cant be answered properly because people with long legs tend to move there legs slower and use less energy while people with shorter legs tend to have very fast moving legs. i have long legs which move fast so im faster than others.its a hard question to answer.

It's a big cat, so it hunts for it's food. It frequents the African plains, It's also the worlds fastest land mammal. So it chases it's food, Antelope and the likes. Another thing is it is the only member of the cat family that CANNOT withdraw it's claws

Do cheetahs get tired legs?

Yes they do. They have that burst of speed like a sprinter in the Olympics but not the stamina and endurance like a marathon runner.

How many Cheetah species are left on the planet?

There are five living subspecies of cheetah, but the differences among them are very small. And this though some investigators argue that there isn't enough of a difference in the genetics of these cats to justify any subspecies at all. Skin grafts between cats "take" easily and are not rejected, and this suggests an extraordinary similarity in the DNA of these creatures. Further, some studies point to genetic bottle-necking of this cat at the time of the last ice age.

The debate continues, and may never resolve, but the five subspecies often cited are:

  • - Acinonyx jubatus jubatus, the type subspecies, from southern Africa
  • - A. j. hecki, the West African cheetah
  • - A. j. raineyii, from East Africa
  • - A. j. soemmeringii, from Central Asia (probably extinct)
  • - A. j. venaticus, from southwest Asia and India (today, only a remnant population lives in Iran)
There is a form called the "king cheetah," which is a genetic mutant form that has a different arrangement of spots. They have larger spots, stripes, and spots that merge into swirls and stripes. The king cheetah is not a separate species or subspecies, but just an odd color form that shows up from time to time in the cheetahs of southern Africa.

i thinc thers 2 speacies ov chetah

Five, but four of them are extinct now. Acinonyx Jubatus is the only living species of cheetah left. There is no difference in species between a cheetah and a king cheetah, a king cheetah is just a small mutation.

- Cheetah - King Cheetah *^The King cheetah is not really a kind but was created by a rare genetic mutation*
