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 cheetah respiratory system?
The cheetah's respiratory system is highly adapted for its unique hunting style, enabling it to achieve incredible speeds. Its large nasal passages allow for increased oxygen intake during high-speed chases, while its lungs are also proportionally larger to facilitate efficient oxygen exchange. Additionally, the cheetah possesses a flexible ribcage and diaphragm, which enhance lung capacity and expansion during rapid breathing. This specialized respiratory system supports the cheetah's need for quick bursts of speed while maintaining stamina during pursuits.
Why is a cheetah or a lion a better hunter?
Lions, as their coordinated efforts, skill and strength make them very sucessful hunters. Cheetahs, although built for speed, can only run at their top speed for short bursts, and are not always successful. Also most of their kills are lost to other animals, so it is quite tough for a cheetah.
An interesting factoid on the Cheetah. Their claws do not retract like all other big cats. Instead they are permanently fixed in a extracted state for better traction when running at their infamous high speeds.

MEAT
A wild cat will eat anything a domestic cat will eat. If you want to feed a wild cat, give it cat food. Otherwise it will hunt for its own meal - small rodents such as mice, lizards, birds and even skunks or larger mammals depending on the type of feline or felid. Wild cats can be dangerous though so be careful.
Retract means to take something back, or to disavow it. It also means to draw back. So logically to retract light would mean to draw back the light source, as you cannot physically draw back or tack back light itself once it has been released.
What is a Lions color or special markings?
Lions are basically tawny colored animals, but as cubs have spots that fade as they grow.
Is a cheetah faster than a tornado?
In terms of the speed at which a tornado travels, yes. A typical tornado travels at 30 to 35 mph. A cheetah can run at 70 to 75 mph, which is close to the upper limit of how fast a tornado can move. Note, however, that a cheetah can only maintain such high speeds for a few seconds. A tornado can maintain a high rate of speed for over an hour in some cases.
In terms of the wind speed of a tornado, no. Even comparatively weak tornadoes can produce winds in excess of 80 mph. The most violent tornadoes can produce winds over 300 mph.
Are cheetahs ectothermic or endothermic?
They are endothermic, because ectothermic dosent have to do with any mammals. :)
How do cheetah defend themselves?
Cheetahs are unable to adequately defend themselves against their natural enemies. Therefor, they try to avoid contact with such animals, like lions, leopards, hyenas, African wild dogs, and even baboons. If such an animal arrives, they attempt to escape.

Cheetah cubs have a fluffy gray mantle to disguise as a fierce honey badger. Cheetahs claws are always out while running to gain traction, and their long tail helps them balance while menuvering the rough terrain They can run up to 70 miles per hour, but can only run for short periods of time, which is why their main prey-gazzele, can outrun them.
