Did you know...?
The cheetah's paws have semi-retractable claws offering extra grip in its high-speed pursuits.
4Occurrence of cheetahs
- Cheetahs live in the Africa, but in the past also
in the India. - Today, without Africa, they also live in the
south edges of the Sahara and isolated location
in Iran.
5Reproduction
- Females gives to up to nine cubs after a
gestation period of ninety to ninety eight days,
although the average litter size is three to
five. Cubs weigh from 150 to 300 g at birth.
Cheetah cub
Unlike some other cats, the cheetah is born with
its characteristic spots and with a downy
underlying mane on their necks, called a mantle.
6Cheetahs social life
- Unlike males, females are solitary and tend to
avoid each other, though some mother/daughter
pairs are known. Cheetahs have a unique,
well-structured social order. Females live alone
except when they are having cubs. The first
eighteen months of a cub's life are important -
cubs learn many lessons because survival depends
on knowing how to hunt wild prey species and
avoid other

predators. At eighteen months, the mother leaves
the cubs, who then form a sibling, that will stay
together for another six months. At about two
years, the female siblings leave the group, and
the young males remain together for life.
7The cheetahs speed
- Cheetah is the fastest land animal. It reaches
speed between 112 and 120 km/h in short distances
up to 460 metres. - It also has the ability to accelerate from 0 to
to 65 km/h in two seconds.
8Cheetahs Diet Hunting
- Cheetahs hunt by vision rather than by scent.
When prey is good visible by them (to within
10-30 metres), then they will chase. They usually
chase over in less than a minute, and if the
cheetah fails to make a catch quickly, it will
give up.
