Cheetahs

Hippo's are the third heaviest animal on the planet, the only two above them are the Asian Elephant, and the African Elephant. Despite their great size, they can run extremely fast, 20 - 35 miles per hour. That is faster than the fastest man on earth. Rhino's can go up to 40 mph, and Elephant's up to 25 mph.

There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. A small population (estimated at about fifty) survive in the Khorasan Province of Iran, where conservationists are taking steps to protect them...

Cheetahs have been known reach speeds of 70 mph or more - equal to about 113km/h
Cheetahs can run at top reported speeds of 55-65 mph, which equates to approximately 89-105 kilometers per hour.

No, Cheetah do not enjoy swiming, though they will in cases in neccasary.
Cheetahs like to swim if they're not force to swim, but if they are catching prey, they will happily chase the prey and go into the water.

Since cheetahs can not run far, they have to learn to sneak up on their prey, this is something that their mother teaches them. Once they've caught their meal cheetahs instinctively breath out of their noses, while they crush the prey's windpipe with their mouths.

No because cheetahs will leave a skunk alone because, the skunk can spray you and make you stink.If that spray gets in your eyes,it's gonna sting then your blind and that means,the cheetah will leave the skunk alone because,the spray might get in their eyes.Trust me,don't belive ID0844035194

Cheetahs live in tropical and warm places, kind of like the rainforest. They can live in grasslands, savannahs, and other places. It might seem like paradise weather to you, maybe a little to warm, kind of like tropical desert with some water. Like praries, is where they would live.
The cheetahs main enviorment is the African savanna and some grasslands.
A cheetah lives in Africa, Southwestern Asia, Iran, and India. They like to live in semi-desert, prairie, grasslands, savannahs, and mountainous terrain.

Yes, because animals such as cats and dogs have very good and sensitive hearing. A cheetah is a cat(big cat).They also have very good smelling senses too.

Yes, lions are faster than leopards. Here is a list of the fastest animals on earth. Note that the lion is the 7th fastest animal on earth.1.) Peregrine Falcon

2.) Frigate Bird

3.) Sail Fish

4.) Cheetah

5.) Pronghorn Antelope

6.) Blue Wildebeest

7.) Lion

8.) Thomson's Gazelle

Yes. Especially in Asia.Hunting, habitat degradation and fragmentation, desertification, and direct killing of wildlife that the Cheetah preys upon are all factors responsible for the chronic decline of the Cheetah in Asia.

The Asiatic Cheetah exists in very low numbers, divided into widely separated populations. Its low density makes it more likely to be affected by a lack of prey through livestock overgrazing and antelope hunting, coupled with direct hunting by humans. Cheetah's were widely hunted by humans for decades and that is the main reason for their drastic decline in numbers.

Though the African cheetah is found in more numbers than their asian cousins, they too are threatened due to habitat loss and hunting.

Genetics is the prime reason why cheetahs are going extinct. It is thought that from 10-12,000 years ago due to a catastrophic event, the population was reduced to less than 7 animals. These animals then inbred with their brothers and sisters to produce a genetic line that is 97% identical. Humans are approximately 70% identical, and lab rats are 97% identical due to inbreeding. Because there is not very much diversity in the genetics of the animals, it leads to the same problems that we as humans have when we inbreed. Detrimental genes are expressed homozygously which means that fewer offspring are viable. Even when imported from different parts of the country, scientists still find it difficult for cheetahs to achieve live births.

A second, less reason is Habitat loss.

Cheetahs are forced into ever smaller areas where they have to compete with other predators like lions, leopard and hyena. Cheetahs like the other predators mentioned are territorial and when their territory overlaps that of say a lion, the lions would kill the cheetahs as to eliminate competition for food.

Farmers see them as pests and would trap, shoot or poison them. The reason for this is livestock loss. A goat or sheep is a much easier meal than an impala.

Cheetahs are endangered because the genetic pool is so small. Also because of competition with other larger predators, habitat loss and poaching

Also, most cheetahs are from the same family some how. If they breed, their is an increased chance of birth defects. Eventually, cheetahs will die out.

house cats can be any kind of cat but i think that the best type of house cat would be burmese or Siamese, or a long haired cat like a norwegien forest, American bobtail, American curl. i would sugest a long haired cat because they do not do well outside because of the care needed for their fur :)

Well, around their first month to second month of their life. They are never fully blind because of their other senses, but overall, blindness in sight is kinda correct at birth.

All cheetahs have a different pattern of spots on their pelt. If you watch shows where they follow cheetahs the people always make sketches of the cheetahs before they leave them alone for a day. to add, zoologists or biologists attach transmiters to them and when you get to know an animal, personality really shows

If the cheetah is well fed and treated nice by the humans, they will probably treat the humans well most of the time. If the cheetah is wild, or treated badly by people, or the cheetah acts on instinct to attack people, then the cheetah will not be nice to people. Don't watch a Cheetos commercial and think cheetahs are just big striped cats. They can be dangerous killers. Leave them to the experts in the zoo, or circus. Don't underestimate potentially dangerous animals, like the cheetah.

A cheetah is capable of going almost twice as fast as a kangaroo.

The cheetah can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km per hour. The largest of the kangaroos, the Red kangaroo, has been clocked at up to 64 kph.

It should be noted, however, that a kangaroo can maintain its top speed for longer than a cheetah can.

No. A cheetah still succumbs to the laws of gravity. Very light animals can walk on water (like a crane fly) because they are not sufficiently heavy to break the water’s surface tension. A cheetah is a heavy animal comparatively. It does not have wings and it is not the son of God. It will sink no matter how fast it runs.

1) Majestic

2) Fast

3) Loyal

4) lenghth

5) agile

people can help cheetah by donating their fur to other people who wants it as a coat ,purse, wallet and some other stuff.
You can support our work with cheetahs in the wild via our 'Save a Wild Cheetah' programme (formerly "adoptions"). You can support our work at different levels, as you feel appropriate. Your supporting contribution is not tied to specific cheetahs but is used entirely for the care and protection of all the wild cheetahs we work with in Africa and elsewhere.

No, they have an internal skeleton.

No.

Over short distances, the Cheetah is the fastest land animal.

They adapt to it by avoiding it. Cheetahs prefer grasslands rather than deserts. Grasslands are not as hot and have more prey animals.

The cheetahs long tail helps it turn sharply when chasing prey.
