Meet the Cheetah

Cheetah is a big cat that looks beautiful. He is a fast runner. As he can not sow, the cheetah is not a member of the "big cat" family. It is a pity that few people live today. The cheetah has existed 4 million years ago. From Texas to China, fossils are found on the earth. Approximately 10,000 years ago, after the last ice age most cheetahs were destroyed. Some zoologists and scientists who are studying animals believe that only a few members of the cheetah family, A jubatus, survived. Today he is known as a "real" cheetah.

Cheetah is the world's fastest terrestrial mammal. They can reach speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. They are shy and generally antisocial with other cheetahs. A male cheetah can grow to a height of 7 feet, but a female cheetah can grow to a height of 6 feet. Cheetahs eat only meat. They found the fur and the baby was born blindly. African elephants are the world's largest terrestrial mammals. It is about 10 feet tall and weighs about 6 tons. Elephant meals mainly include plants, fruits, bark. Elephants normally eat between 300 and 600 pounds of food a day. It uses trunks to grab food and, if necessary, divides the food with ivory. Elephants often step on trees, cut down parts of the forest, and make places for themselves. They are mainly dominated by women named cattle. Their only natural carnivores are that human beings kill them only for ivory. This is called poaching and it is illegal.

Cheetah is a carnivore. They will eat small games like rabbits, pigs, birds. Cheetahs mainly eat hoofed mammals weighing less than 90 pounds. Animals that can be eaten by cheetah include antelope, rabbits, birds, and Dikers. Some of the bigger animals that cheetahs eat are warthogs, impalas and gazelle. Most cheetahs are looking for in the morning or afternoon. Cheetahs get food by first scanning the countryside from branches and termites' mounds. Cheetahs use their olfactions instead of their sight to capture their food. When cheetahs eat, animals such as lions, leopards, vultures, and jackals sometimes rob the murder of them, so they must eat quickly. When the cheetah finds the murder, it does not sneak it, they chase it. When capturing the prey, the cheetah bite the neck, and the animal immediately dies.

About half of the cheetah's prey is chasing success. If you succeed in capturing animals, cheetah suffocates the prey by pushing the animal's trachea. The structure of the cheetah jaw can form a grip like a vise. Very small animals such as rabbits are killed by simple stabbing of the skull. However, cheetahs can be bullied by lion, hyena, and sometimes vulture, whether it is a large meal or a large meal, so eat very quickly. In this way the cheetah lost about 50% of the food. Cheetah has a very beautiful eating habit: they do not return to their murder nor they eat carrion. They left the prey's bones and internal organs. After 6 weeks, young people have enough power to track hunting, and at 6 months of age the mother catches live prey and practices murder.
