Amazing animal!
thanks
awesome. thanks
interesting article :) thanks for sharing
Beautiful photo.
I love Cheetahs with the dark tear stain down their face and that long body built for speed.
Absolutely amazing creatures!!!!Thanks for the interesting info!!
Sometimes I wonder,why I waste my time reading this stuf. As usual it is full of incorrect info.
First ,A Cheetah is only 2.5 ft tall!? It would make it about 75 cm,the size of a big Greyhound.
They are taller than that. I had the opportunity to stand next to a fully grown Cheetah, it's about 1meter tall = 3.5 ft. And the speed is inacurate as well 64MPH= 102km/h Max speed for hunting cheetah, or Gepard was clocked at cca 75-80 km/h= 55mph reached in the first 3-4 strides.
They are definitely built for speed and beautiful as well.
