Dedicated to those who want to learn about Cheetahs.

Where do Cheetahs Live?

Cheetahs are mostly found in sub-Saharan Africa and in eastern and southern African parks. Some of the animals can still be found in southern Algeria, northern Niger and Iran. They like dry, open grasslands where they can pick up speed to run.

The Cheetah's Habitat

Cheetahs are found with black spots. But some cheetahs are spotless. The Cheetah has a unique body structure, with long legs, a flexible spine, semi-retractable claws, and a long tail which allow it to achieve unbelievable speeds. The cheetah's body is narrow and lightweight with long slender limbs. Specialized muscles allow for a greater swing to the limbs increasing acceleration.

What does a Cheetah look like?

Cheetahs are born at birth and it takes three months to be born. Eight cheetahs are born at a time. A baby has chubby cheeks and little black spots on it's fur. Adults live by themselves to raise their babies. Adults look big, fast, fearless and scary. Adults take care of their babies for two years. An adult cheetah lives up to 8 to 12 years.
