What is the weight of a female cheetah?
The average weight of adult male cheetah is 45.6kg in Namibia with a range of 31-64kg, and of a female 37.2kg with a range of 26-51kg. This study was the largest so far and included a sample of 99 males and 38 females, and so should be considered valid for the subspecies jubatus which is found in southern Africa.
In Serengeti national park, the average weight for males is 41.4kg with a range of
28-51kg, and for females 35.9kg with a range of 21-43kg. This was the most extensive study of the subspecies raineyi and included 23 males and 19 females.
All other studies done on cheetah weight suffer from an extremly small sample of just a few individuals and therefore are not a true representative of the species' average size.
Nature is such a wonderful thing. It is not good to lose any creatures on this planet. Each has their own importance and significance. The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. It would be terrible to lose such a wonderful creature, as it would be to lose many of the other wonderful creatures in this world that are under threat.

Is cheetah a male or a female?
Usually it is the female lions. Female lions usually lead a peaceful life and do not involve in fights. On the other hand, the male lions live to fight. When they are around 4-5 years old they dethrone a male lion (probably kill it) and take over its pride. They will rule the pride for the next 4-5 years when they are at their prime strength and stamina. After that another younger lion would replace him. This way male lions do not live past 10 years or more. Female lions are known to live to upto 15 years.

What is a good introdution about cheetahs?
Cheetahs are endangered species. There are very few of them left in the wild. This is called by habitat loss, people killing them, and because it is very hard for the females to produce young (they are very picky). Since cheetahs live in grasslands and savanahs they have black lines that come from the corners of their eyes to the corners of their mouth like those of a football players to let them see better in the sun. The cheetahs young are kept hidden while the mother hunts. She tades them to a new hiding place each time so that hyenas , lions and other predators don't find the cubs. The young Have mane-like fur on their backs which mades them look like a honey badger, a predator that most animals are afraid of. Since females live alone unlike the males they rely completely on hiding places and diguises to protect their cubs. Cheetahs are amazing! They can gain speeds up to 40 miles per hour in just 2 seconds! Their top speed is 60 miles per hour. That's about how fast cars go on the freeway. To catch prey cheetahs grab the prey by the throat and wait until it stops breathing before they let go. they eat fast so that bigger cats lide lions don't eat it first! for more info check out www.cheetahspot.com.
