The cheetah

The cheetah is sometimes called the hunting leopard, but it is quite a distinct animal. The body is more slender and the legs are longer, while its coat has single apots, not rosettes. It reaches a length of just over 1 metre, with a tail about 75 centimetres long. Cheetahs live on open plains in southern Africa. In India the cheetah is now extinct.

Cheetah hunt alone or small groups. They prey on small antelopes which they run down at great speed. Over a short distance the cheetah is probably the fastest land animal, reaching speeds of more than 100 kilometres an hour. Unlike other cats, the cheetah cannot retract it claws into sheats.
