Occurrence of cheetahs
Cheetahs live in the Africa,
but in the past also in the
India.
Today, without Africa, they
also live in the south
edges of the Sahara and
isolated location in Iran.
Reproduction
Females gives to up to
nine cubs after a gestation
period of ninety to ninety
eight days, although the
average litter size is three
to five. Cubs weigh from
150 to 300 g at birth.
Cheetah cub
Unlike some other cats, the cheetah is born with its
characteristic spots and with a downy underlying mane
on their necks, called a mantle.
Cheetahs’ social life
Unlike males, females are solitary and
tend to avoid each other, though
some mother/daughter pairs are
known. Cheetahs have a unique, wellstructured social order. Females live
alone except when they are having
cubs. The first eighteen months of a
cub's life are important - cubs learn
many lessons because survival
depends on knowing how to hunt
The cheetahs family
wild prey species and avoid other
predators. At eighteen months, the mother leaves the cubs, who then form a
sibling, that will stay together for another six months. At about two years, the
female siblings leave the group, and the young males remain together for life.
The cheetahs’ speed
Cheetah is the fastest land
animal. It reaches speed
between 112 and 120
km/h in short distances up
to 460 metres.
It also has the ability to
accelerate from 0 to to 65
km/h in two seconds.
Cheetahs’ Diet & Hunting
Cheetahs hunt by vision
rather than by scent.
When prey is good visible
by them (to within 10-30
metres), then they will
chase. They usually chase
over in less than a minute,
and if the cheetah fails to
make a catch quickly, it will
give up.
