Cheetahs

Cheetahs are members of the cat family and are the world's fastest land animals. They inhabit open grasslands and scrub in Africa., southern Asia and the Middle East.

Cheetahs " are often mistaken for leopards because they have many similar features. Their distinguishing marks are the long, teardrop-shaped lines on each side of the nose from the corner of the eyes to the mouth.

The animals have muscular and powerful. bodies which are aerodynamically perfect for short, fast runs. Their bendy backs keep the ·body flexible as they sprint. They can accelerate from stanaing to 40 mph in three strides and to a full speed of 70 mph within seconds. Cheetahs' feet are like running shoes and have grips and spikes to dig into the ground. The grips are special ridges on the animals' footpads and the claws act as spikes. These claws stay out all the time. This is different from other cats, whose claws tuck away in special sheaths in their paws.

Cheetahs are carnivores and eat gazelle and small antelope. A long tail helps the cheetah keeps its balance as it swerves after its prey, using large eyes that point forward to judge distances accurately. Once the cheetah has pounced, the victim is gripped by the throat to stop it breathing. However, the cheetah has weak jaws and small teeth and cannot always protect its kills or its young, especially if tired out after a run.

Female cheetahs give birth to an average of three young that they rear by themselves. Once fully grown, the animals usually live alone, though males sometimes form small groups. Most cheetahs live about twelve years. Cheetahs are now endangered species and many conservationists are trying to help protect the habitats of these interesting creatures.

Halo Binar, terima kasih sudah bertanya di Roboguru. Berikut penjelasannya ya.

Jawaban yang tepat adalah “tiger, domestic cats, and lion”.

Soal meminta untuk menyebutkan hewan lainnya yang termasuk famili kucing yang memiliki karakteristik seperti kata-kata yang digarisbawahi (can you mention other animals that belong to the cat family and that have the characteristics as stated by the underlined words?).

Kata-kata yang digarisbawahi adalah “… whose claws tuck away in special sheaths in their paws” yang jika diterjemahkan menjadi “… yang cakarnya terselip di sarung khusus pada bagian cakarnya”. Cakar di sini dapat diartikan sebagai kuku. Jadi, kata-kata yang digarisbawahi menjelaskan cakar/kuku terselip di sarung khusus pada bagian cakar hewan pada wacana (cheetah).

Semua spesies pada famili kucing memiliki bagian sarung khusus untuk menyelipkan kukunya pada bagian cakarnya. Contoh beberapa hewan lain dalam famili kucing antara lain harimau (tiger), kucing domestic/kampung (domestic cats), dan singa (lion). Jadi, jawaban yang sesuai adalah “tiger, domestic cats, and lion”.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah tiger, domestic cats, and lion.

Semoga membantu.
