Saharan Cheetah

Saharan Cheetahs are sometimes known as Northwest African cheetahs. Their physical makeup and way of life have adjusted to the harsh physical environment of the Sahara Desert. Compared to the rest of their species, these cheetahs are more active at night. They are able to conserve water and avoid the intense heat of the desert sun thanks to this habit. They look different from other varieties of cheetahs. Their coats are shorter and nearly white in hue. Their markings range from dark brown to light brown in tone. Sometimes they don't have any spots on their faces, and their tear stripes aren't present. They have a little smaller physique than other varieties of cheetahs.

Antelopes are one of their favorite foods. Hares and other small mammals are their second choice if there are no antelopes in the area. They may go for several days without drinking any water. Their alternative source of water is the blood of the prey they seek. Cheetahs are lone creatures. They don't frequently move from one location to another. Small groups of cheetahs exist, and these groups are often made up of a mother and her developing cubs. Cheetahs from the Sahara are currently one of the world's Critically Endangered species. There are approximately 250 of them in the wild. The Sahara Desert is home to this particular breed of the cheetah.
