Here are some key facts about cheetahs:
🐆Speed: Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of running up to 60-70 mph (97-113 km/h) in short bursts.
🐆Hunting Style: They rely on speed and agility, often sprinting for 20-30 seconds to catch prey, primarily small to medium-sized ungulates like gazelles.
🐆Physical Adaptations: Their lightweight bodies, large nasal passages, and long legs are specifically adapted for high-speed chases.
🐆Unique Appearance: Cheetahs have distinctive black tear marks on their faces that help reduce glare from the sun.
🐆Social Behavior: Unlike most big cats, cheetahs can be social. Males often form groups called “coalitions,” while females are usually solitary.

🐆Habitat: They inhabit a range of environments, including savannas, grasslands, and arid regions across Africa and parts of Iran.
🐆Conservation Status: Cheetah populations are vulnerable due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching.
🐆Short Lifespan: In the wild, cheetahs live around 10-12 years, but they can live longer in captivity.
🐆Specialized Diet: They primarily hunt during the day, using their keen eyesight to spot prey.
