Cheetahs are large, carnivorous felines known for their incredible speed and agility. They have a slender, aerodynamic body with a yellowish-tan coat covered in black spots. Their distinctive tear-shaped black markings run from their eyes down to their mouth. Cheetahs have long, powerful legs and a flexible spine, enabling them to reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour in just a few seconds. They are primarily found in the grasslands and savannas of Africa, where they hunt smaller mammals such as gazelles and impalas. Cheetahs are solitary animals, except for mothers with cubs, and are considered vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss and poaching.
