Cheetah

Cheetahs are huge cats that are endemic to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, capable of speeds of 80 to 128 km/h, and has various adaptations for speed, including a light frame, long skinny legs, and a long tail.

Females with their offspring, male "coalitions," and solitary males. Males are more sedentary and may instead create much smaller territories in places with abundant prey and access to females, whilst females live a nomadic life seeking for prey in broad home ranges. Cheetahs are most active during the day, with peaks at dawn and sunset. It likes medium-sized ungulates like Impala, springbok, and Thomson's gazelles feed on small to medium-sized prey, generally weighing under 40 kg.

The cheetah can be found in a number of settings, including the Serengeti's savannahs, the Sahara's arid mountain ranges, and Iran's steep desert terrain. Habitat loss, interaction with humans, poaching, and a high sensitivity to diseases are all threats to the cheetah.
