The Cheetah: Built for Speed What animal do you know can compete with a sports car in a race? Take a wild guess. Cheetahs! Cheetahs are the best because they’re the fastest land animal. Also, they are fascinating felions and have many special features like no other animal. The cheetah is primarily found in Africa (D’Silva). They are made for speed. “Built more like greyhounds than typical cats, cheetahs are adapted for brief but intense bursts of speed (Smithsonian). In Africa, everyone head to the lion’s cage expecting to see the lions because they are the king of Africa as the movie, “The Lion King” describes. However, because cheetahs are the fastest land animals, lions can not compete with it, and cheetahs have many features that any …show more content…
“The animals that the cheetah preys on for their meal are the smaller ones such as impalas. They can also hunt even bigger animals such as wildebeests. Cheetahs often lose their prey to lions and tiger and hyenas (JessZoo).” It’s more of a competition when it comes to their meal. Cheetahs have tear marks along both its eyes. These tear marks shield the cheetah's eyes from the sun and make it one of the most deadly hunters in the animal kingdom (D’Silva). Both male and female cheetahs reach adult body mass at 49–96 months of age (Dickman). A female prime adult cheetah at 48-96 months weighs an approximately thirty-one to fifty-two kilograms and one hundred fifteen to one hundred twenty-six centimeters in length (Dickman). A male prime adult cheetah at the same age weighs approximately thirty-seven to fifty-eight kilograms and one hundred eighteen to one hundred thirty-seven centimeters in length (Dickman). In order for cheetahs to eat, they approach their prey in a certain way to be successful; otherwise, they will not eat. Russell also notes that, the cheetah hunts with speed and knocks down its prey before killing it (Russell). When cheetahs hunt, they first identify their meal. Whenever there are hiding places available like tall grass, the cheetah use the cover to sneak up on its prey (JessZoo). They lower themselves so their victim does not see them. They creep very slowly and soon gain speed. If the prey looks up, the
When feeding in a treacherous environment both prey and predator must develop a varied range of hunting and defense behaviors.
Gentle, peaceful & shy are the words that describe gorillas. Gorillas in the mountains & eastern lowland areas are totally vegetarian & eat leaves, fruits, & stems like bamboo.

Leopard geckos like moving prey that are able to be caught. Crickets, mealworms, flies and other insects are optional. For large adults, baby pinky mice can be fed to them. Calcium and D3 should be supplemented to properly provide their nutritional needs.
When the lanes start to wear down players must start making adjustments. These types of players have found success in switching to a less reactive ball while playing the same line. The strongest types of ball motions are often rolled very deep in the lane even though the pattern allows for many different entry angles. Bowlers have often found that different lane surfaces affect the ball motion, making some shots harder than others. Another pattern, referred to as the Cheetah pattern, one of the shortest, lies at only about thirty-five feet down the lane. The name implies that players should use faster ball speeds to create straighter angles on the lane. On the PBA tour, this pattern is one of the higher scoring patterns but is tougher for non-professionals
1. In the film “Killers Like Us: Chimpanzees,” we learn that chimpanzees, were once vegetarians, that now hunt up to twenty-five various species of animals. Their cuisine of choice is the Red Colobus Monkey. Chimps hunt together with up to three dozen other chimpanzees, climbing to the tops of the trees, while closing in on their prey gradually, leaving the monkey no where to go.

The forests are green and volcanic. There was once human interference with the gorilla’s. Mountain Gorilla’s are omnivores because because they eat leaves and small animals.

The gorillas eat with their sharp teeth. Mountain gorillas predators are leopards and humans. There prey is plants. “And by protecting mountain gorillas we ensure the survival of vital gorilla habitat and other species that live there.” Said by Matt Lewis of the WWF African species
What is the fastest animal in the world? Is it the leopard? Is it the cheetah?
Cheetahs will die out if humans don’t help prevent extinction. This feline is becoming extinct because of hunting, habitat loss and predators. Two of these problems, hunting and habitat loss are caused by humans. Unfortunately, there are only approximately 10,000 to 12,000 cheetahs remaining in the world. Sadly, scientists noted that from 2001-2014 there has been a decline of 2,000 cheetahs. To make a better impact on this feline’s population, humans organizations need to advise farmers not to give cheetahs livestock.
Cheetahs are known to be the fastest animal in the world with a record of running
The Cheetah is a type of big cat from the Felinae subfamily. They inhabit almost all of Africa. They are the fastest land animal. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph is three seconds. The fastest it can go is 75 mph. Its closest relatives are the American puma and jaguarondi. It is one the few animals of the species that has semi-retractable claws. For hunting it trips prey with its dewclaw. Although deadly to prey, it is basically defenseless against large predators, and it uses its speed to
A carnivore is an animal that gets food from killing and eating other animals. Carnivores generally eat herbivores, but can eat omnivores, and occasionally other carnivores. Animals that eat other animals, like carnivores and omnivores are important to any ecosystem, because they keep other species from getting overpopulated.
They eat a lot of chicken and beef. Because of their ginormous size, they can eat up to 100lbs in a single serving. Those that live in the wild usually hunt for deer, cattle, and other wild animals.
Without a doubt, lions have strong physical qualities. One, in particular, is the lions’ amazingly strong forepaws. So strong and powerful that a lion could kill a hyena in just one blow. Also, a lion’s muscular body has less bone mass compared to the other animals, which makes it responsible for its graceful movements. Each of their paws is equipped with soft pads, making them soundless as they move. A lions’ eyes are well-adapted in low light, an advantage for them to go hunting at night. A
