The cheetah is a large cat-like predator still found in Africa and Iran. The cheetah is known as the fastest land animal in the world.
Everything in the cheetah's body is built for speed. Its body is slender and flexible, making it very agile. Because of its flexible spine and long legs, it makes passes of 7 to 8 meters at top speed. Because a cheetah has no retractable nails, it has a good grip on the ground in turns and at high speeds. However, it can only maintain its top speed of up to 120 km/hr for a short time, otherwise it will overheat. He must therefore react quickly and catch his prey.
The fur of the cheetah is light to reddish yellow ochre on top and on the flanks. The underside of the cheetah is white and the entire coat is dotted with black round spots. The rear portion of the tail is black-ringed with a white tail tip. A striking feature of the cheetah is the black stripe under the eyes that extends to the corner of the mouth.
