Presentation about Cheetahs

1. Cheetah

2. Status
• It's endangered and
there only 9 - 12
thousands cheetahs.

3. Can people hunt it?
• Cheetahs are killed
illegally, because they
have very beautiful fur.

4. Size
• The adult cheetah
weighs from 21 to 72 kg
• Its total head-and-body
length is from 110 to
150 cm
• Tail can measure 60 to
84 cm in length
• It averages about 90 cm
tall

5. Appearance
• This cat is truly built for speed!
• Virtually every part of its body
is adapted in some way to help
it run faster.
• Unlike some other cats, the
cheetah is born with its
characteristic spots.
• There are no spots on its white
underside, face.
• Black "tear marks" running
from the corner of its eyes
down the sides of the nose to
its mouth and keep sunlight out
of its eyes.

6. Habitat
• The cheetah likes to live
in an open biotopes,
such as semidesert,
prairie,, though it can
be found in a variety of
habitats. In Namibia, for
example, it lives in
grasslands, savannahs,
areas of dense
vegetation.

7. Food
• The cheetah is a
carnivore, eating mostly
mammals under 40 kg
• Prey is stalked to within
10–30 m, then chased.
This is usually over in
less than a minute, and
if the cheetah fails to
make a catch quickly, it
will give up.

8. Habits
• Hunt in early morning and
late afternoon Cheetahs
can not roar
• The chirp can be heard a
mile away!
• The male cheetahs are
generally chased away by
other dominate males;
however, they tend to
stick together for the rest
of their lives to insure
protection, easier
hunting.

9. Why I like it
• I like cheetahs, because
they can run very fast
and they are beautiful.
