Description
Fastest mammal on land, the cheetah can reach speeds of 60 or perhaps even 70 miles an hour over short distances. However it usually chases its prey at only about half that speed. It covers distances up to 1,640 ft in short bursts, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in three seconds. After a chase, a cheetah needs half an hour to catch its breath before it can eat. The cheetah's closest relatives are the puma and jaguar of the Americas.
Cheetahs are mostly found in sub-Saharan Africa and in eastern and southern African parks. Some of the animals can still be found in southern Algeria, northern Niger and Iran. They like dry, open grasslands where they can pick up speed to kill prey.
The cheetah is listed as vulnerable, facing various threats including loss of habitat and prey; conflict with humans; the illegal pet trade; competition with and predation by other carnivores; and a gene pool with very low variability.
