Cheetah

Qualities:
• Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 112 km/h (70 mph).
• Their slender, lightweight bodies and long legs help with acceleration and agility.
• They have black 'tear marks' under their eyes which reduce glare and improve focus.
• Cheetahs are solitary hunters and rely on stealth and speed to catch prey.
• They have excellent eyesight and use it to locate prey from long distances.

Weaknesses:
• Cheetahs lack physical strength to protect their kills from larger predators.
• Their high-speed chases can only last for short bursts, after which they need rest.
• They have low genetic diversity, making them vulnerable to diseases.
• Cheetah cubs face high mortality rates due to predators like lions and hyenas.
• They struggle to adapt to changing environments and human development.
