Cheetahs life span
When Cheetahs are just born they weigh 8-10 ounces. From the minute they're born they are prey. The mother would move them every three to four days so predators don't get them. The baby has black and white fur. The baby Cheetah is blind when born. The baby Cheetah really is a handful.
Young cheetah
A young cheetah is not blind after 5-10 days. After 3 weeks the young Cheetah can follow its mother. The young Cheetahs able to watch her mother hunt but they have to be silent. They have a mantle like a Honey badger. after 8-12 weeks they grow out of their mantle.They grow fur like their mother. The Cheetah can eat meat after 4 weeks. After 2 weeks their small teeth grow in. They really grow up fast.
Older
6 months on they only eat meat. The mother brings meat to help train attacking on animals. After 1 and a half years they can hunt on their own. Cheetahs can't roar. The mother leaves them on their own. They are ready to have a litter. The Cheetah dies after 7-10 years on average.
Cheetah VS Horse
Putting the paw down
The humans are killing the Cheetahs by fencing off areas of land. Cheetahs need wide open areas to kill. The animals now are in a competition for food. The Cheetah is dieng faster than they can be born. The loss of habitat isn't helping. Cheetahs are killing cattle because they need food. In some countries the people are allowed to kill the Cheetah because the Cheetah killed some of their cattle. Because of this the Cheetah could be extinct in 2030!
Savior
Because Cheetahs are being killed, people are cracking down on people killing Cheetahs unauthorized. Because of this people are banning hunting Cheetahs. The Cheetah may not be alive that much longer.
Make or brake
The Cheetah is vanishing at an alarming rate. People are taking Their land for human's cattle. The Cheetahs need wide open areas to hunt prey. Areas where cheetahs live are being cut off . The Cheetah now has to hunt cattle. The Cheetah is dieng off and we need to help.
Effect
The Cheetahs are on a bad path. The Cheetah is dieng faster than they can be born. 1 in 3 cubs are not able to live to 2 years old. Cheetahs have to hunt other animals like rabbits and frogs. Since Cheetahs may hunt cattle, the Cheetah can be shot and killed. The Cheetah could be extinct in 2030.
