Cheetah The fastest land animal in the world, the cheetah is a marvel of evolution. The cheetah's slender, long-legged body is built for speed. Cheetahs are tan in color with black spots all over their bodies. They can also be distinguished from other big cats by their smaller size, spotted coats, small heads and ears and distinctive "tear stripes" that stretch from the comer of the eye to the side of the nose. In 1900, there were over 100,000 cheetahs across their historic range. Today; an estimated 9,000 to 12,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Mrica. In Iran, there are around 200 cheetahs living in small isolated populations. Historically cheetahs were found throughout Mrica and Asia from South Mrica to India. They are now confined to parts of eastern, central and southwestern Mrica and a small portion of lran. Found mostly in open and partially open savannah, cheetahs rely on tall grasses for camouflage when hunting. They are diurnal (more active in the day) animals and hunt mostly during the late morning or early evening. Only half of the chases, which last from 20-60 seconds, are successful. Cheetahs knock their prey to the ground and kill with a suffocating bite to the neck. They must eat quickly before they lose the kills to other bigger or more aggressive carnivores. Cheetahs are also typically solitary animals. While males sometimes live with a small group of brothers from the same litter, females generally raise cubs by themselves for about a year. Cubs are smoky in color with long, woolly hair-called a mantle - running down their backs. This mantle is thought to camouflage cubs in grass, concealing them from predators. Mothers move cubs to new hiding places every few days. At 5 6 weeks, cubs follow the mother and begin eating from their kills. Because of their size, strength, and predatory skills, cheetahs are considered one of the "big cats." Tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, and cougars are also part of this grouping. 1.
