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.

How does the adaptation of a extremly long tail helps a cheetah?

The cheetah's long tail helps to balance and stabilize the cheetah when it runs. Without the long tail, it would be much harder to make sharp turns at such high speeds.

What is the Latin name for cheetah?

Acinonyx jubatus is the scientific (Latin) name for the cheetah.

What are causes of endangerment?

Habitat destruction, Land use, Deforestation, Hunting, Over exploitation, diseases, and pollution, are some causes of endangerment.

How do you run a fast shuttle run?

Practice sprinting. Do short sprints, do longer sprints, do them in sets with jogging in between or do them in sets with breaks in between. Do a lot of them. Maybe do some sprinting up hills. Practice pivoting, over and over until you can turn on a dime. In short, practice a lot.

Do lions fight cheetahs to defend their territory?

Cheetahs avoid lions and try to stay out of their way. Lions will sometimes steal them cheetah's kills and there is little the cheetah can do about it.

What is the cheetah genetic code?

A pretty boring one, apparently. All cheetahs are closely related, apparently all are descendents of a single female who lived about 11,000 years ago. This does not augur well for long-term species survival. Howeve,r a ray of hope may be seen in the appearance of the occasional king cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus rex) which is just different enough from its ancestors to suggest their might be some fresh genes to work with.

Other than the cheetah what are fast animals?

A fox coyyote wolf are fast too so they might be even fast than a cheetah

Why should you care about the cheetah?

How much are you supposed to weigh if you are a female of 13 years and 59 inches tall?

As a thirteen year old, your body is changing-sometime rapidly, while other times only a little bit. On average, you should way between 140-160 pounds depending on your height and age of development. Though a thirteen year old can be very self-contious about themselves, being healthy is the most important thing to worry about. Body-type, growth pattern, medical history, and the developmental state of your body all are different factors in how much you should weigh. The best thing to do is to ask your doctor.

Can a 4-cylinder car run on 2 cylinders?

See this post:

http://www.gassavers.org/archive/index.php/4-cylinder-trucks/t-410.html

It looks like you may have to fool some computers, depending on how old your car is. For example, the computer might falsely sense a misfire and add more fuel to those cylinders, or increase fuel to the others to compensate.

I've been trying to think of how to do this myself to make my own hybrid. If so, though, you might be able to tie the sensors from the working cylinders to the computer inputs of the missing ones. That way (and you may have to buffer it off depending on the electronics) they get the same signals so it thinks all is well in the missing gaps.

I feel like you'd have an easier time with a carbureted engine.

What type of weather do cheetahs live in?

Do cheetahs have a leader?

Female cheetahs are generally solitary animals, but the males form coalitions so as to maximize coverage of the available females in their territory .

Why don't cheetahs do well in captivity?

It's not that they don't do well, they do. They are easily tamed and live much longer lives than their wild counter-parts. They don't breed well in captivity because of the different social behaviours of the sexes. The males are social, form packs, and establish a set territory. Females roam over a large range alone, avoiding the males until she is ready to mate. By nature, the sexes don't want each others company, so when they're forced together in a confined setting, they don't mate. To have a successful breeding program in captivity, the female needs a very large enclosure, and male cats only occasionally introduced.

Since her native range is about 14 miles square, or 196 square miles, minimum, or an area about the half the size of Texas at the maximum, your talking about a really big expensive cage. It's more cost effective to use invitro fertilization rather than create an adequate simulation of nature.

Do zebras and cheetahs have long claws for digging?

A zebra is a herd animal and does not have claws, but hooves, which are hard and flat, and not ideal for digging. A cheetah has claws for hunting, killing its prey, and then tearing apart the body of its prey in order to eat it.

Neither zebras or cheetahs live underground, and are not known to dig.
