THE CHEETAH
I think that you should read this book because it tells you how cheetahs hunt and take care of their family. I think that this book is very fascinating. If you read this book I belive that you will think the same thing. This book talkes about the speed of a cheetah and where they are found. It also talkes about how they hunt and what makes them good at it.
Hunting
Cheetahs make great predators because they are fast and their spine is flexible for all their chacing adventures. They are perfectly adapted for hunting in the grasslands and arid regions of Africa . Being so quick they are able to capture prey that no other animals are able to catch.
Location
Most cheetahs are located in Africa, however, a few can be found in Asia. Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) historically lived throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Southern Asia.However, most of the remaining wild cheetah populations are located in sub-Saharan Africa (south of the Saharan Desert) with some smaller populations in Northern Africa and one isolated population still living in Iran.
Speed
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal on Earth. Also, the speed of 29 meters per second is an average over 200 meters, which means that it is likely that the cheetah was running faster than this for some sub-intervals. Given all the variables here, a top speed of roughly 70 mph (112 kph) seems reasonable, but it is just an estimate.
