Cheetah Profile

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, reaching speeds of up to 112 km/h, with physical traits that enhance their agility and hunting capabilities. However, they face significant challenges, including vulnerability to larger predators, short bursts of speed, low genetic diversity, high cub mortality rates, and difficulty adapting to environmental changes. These qualities and weaknesses highlight the unique adaptations and threats faced by cheetahs in the wild.

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.
