The animals in East Africa are Mountain gorilla, elephant, hippopotamus, antelope, lion, giraffe, leopard, zebra, black rhinoceros, wild dog. The most popular plant in East Africa is Alchemilla, another plant that is in East Africa lobelia. The type of soil in East Africa is dry. The kind of sand is sand boab. The water type they have lakes also they are islands
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
that have greatly reduced the cheetah’s distribution, (Myers, 1975). Cheetahs are adapted for life in open spaces, but are able to adapt to shrub and bush areas, if their prey is woodland dependent. When the open plains of Africa are used for farmland, the prey in those areas is pushed out and their numbers decline rapidly, negatively affecting the cheetahs in that area. The high percentage of juvenile mortality among cheetahs is one of the more impactful factors that is stunting population growth
Did you know that cheetahs 'are' more faster than any thing in the world. Cheetah bodies are made for speed there claws stick out for their toes. over short distances they run 70 miles an hour. A cheetah is the fastest land animals they can run 110 kph Which is as faster than cars can drive on the highways. They can reach its top speed in just 3 seconds. There are a handful of Asian cheetahs in Iran too, and research is being done to keep them in their natural habitat. The need is primarily
the most dangerous places in today’s world, home of two of the world 's most dangerous predators, the cheetah, and the lion. Two cats that come from the same species that have very different characteristics such as weight, size, and hunting tactics, but that share the same habitat makes me wonder which animal is more successful in his/her territory. Let 's compare the characteristics of the
The Cheetah The cheetah is one of the most fascinating land animals. It has so many interesting facts about it! Cheetahs have a huge impact on the animal kingdom. They have many amazing physical features. The cheetah is one of the world's fastest land animals. They can run 70 mph(or 110 kph). “The cheetah coat is covered with about 2,000 black spots”. The cheetah is very slender and has a muscular body. They have a white belly, and a dark stripe. The cheetah has only a few places it lives. The cheetah’s
Juan Vielma 20368480 How Muscoskeletal systems affect the running speed of Homo sapiens & Acinonyx jubatus Why do cheetahs run faster than humans for short intervals but humans run for a longer time? The cause of this is because the cheetah and human contain different muscle fibers in their body. The different muscle fiber results in the muscles being used differently depending on the situation. In this research we will identify what the different muscle fibers are and how they work in each organism
Imagine yourself on a bridge, hanging over a highway. You’re watching the cars speeding by at 50, 60, 70 miles per hour. Got it? Now, picture each of those cars as a yellow, spotted cat, taking bounds that exceed 25 feet. This cat, the cheetah, along with two others, the lion and leopard, have been with us since the beginning. They each have unique characteristics that neither of the two have. They eat similar diets, but have different ways of getting it, with strategy, stealth, and speed. Sadly
Name: The scientific name for Cheetah is Acinonyx jubatus. The cheetah gets its name from Hindi word Sanskrit- Chita, the Hindi translation means Spotted One.

Their body markings are light golden color, covered with small round, black spots on the cheeks, forehead, neck and legs. Cheetah’s have
loss of habitat, lack of food, hunting and many more. The victim of this horrendous crime against living organisms is the fastest running mammal called Cheetah, scientifically known as “Acinonyx jubatus”. Cheetahs are true carnivores which means they depend on meat for survival. They use high speed to easily hunt their prey. Primary diet of cheetah consists of springbok, ostriches, impala, deer, gazelles, warthogs, birds, hares, young zebras etc. These animals tend to target younglings because of
