Built for speed, the Cheetah is one of the most fascinating of all animals. Design the epitome of speed, all on the plains of Africa itself obsolete Cheetah as one of the most successful hunters in the family Felidae. Even if they are not big cats to roar in by many experts because of its inability to contain Cheetah is one of the most envied offshore predators in the wild to attract frequent play lions and leopards, which are not often compete with CheetahHunting skills.
Polished to a sleek and slim stature Cheetah range in weight from 100 to 150 pounds helps, with his long body and tail in high speed chases. The fur is usually yellow with small black spots runs along the entire length. The belly, like most cats, is whitish. Evolutionary adaptations that allow to include Cheetah breakneck speeds through the production of large nostrils, the heart and lungs (the maximum oxygen intake to allow for rapid employment), the adrenal glands large (forAdrenaline), the claws of the rudder-like tail (for balance and quickly turn to play smart Thomson's gazelle) and non-retractable (to "hold" on the field during the hunt are available).
Speed Cheetah means that break down the prey that most predators do not even think about - the Springbok is great in itself and can not Cheetah still eludes half the time. Impala and hares are hunted frequently, and wildebeest to be used only in pairs. Usual approach isto chase their prey and approach as close as possible. If it is found to be in the vicinity, the hunt begins Cheetah - reaching 0 to 100 km / h in 3 seconds, Cheetah outclasses most modern car - capable of reaching 125 km / h with his feet did not seem nearly to the ground! Touch After solving the prey, powerful jaw muscles enable the Cheetah crush the victim's trachea, and large nostrils to breathe at the same time keeps to allow long periods. Thehigh-speed tires of this great fighter also raises the body temperature to dangerous levels. The cat is so after the hunt, making it vulnerable to scavengers like hyenas who often claim to kill.
Cheetah is an organized social structure, with coalitions of men and women do hunt alone, and parenthood. A big mess after mating, the born and the next year, but survive only a small proportion of young animals and are often killed by lions, leopards and hyenas. Maturity is reached1 year for men and women for two years, after leaving the mother to establish their territory, varies with the areas of habitat. Cheetahs prefer relatively open grasslands and are not very adaptable to changes in their environment.
Limited adaptability, breeding, hunting and poaching by farmers and the removal of animals from the wild for use as pets - throughout history - have led to a lack of genetic diversity as a species Cheetah alarmingly, with someExperts fear for survival. The wonderful cat is considered threatened and vulnerable in Asia, in Africa, with foundations in Africa are working to restore the desert ecosystems and their response to the lack of prey and habitat threaten the prosperity of this fantastic animal.
