ABOUT THE CHEETAH
The cheetah is most famous for its speed. It is the world's fastest land animal, having been known to run at speeds up to 70 mph. However, it is able to sustain this pace for only a short period of time. The cheetah is distinctly different from all other felids in both anatomy and behavior, and yet in many ways is the epitome of feline grace and speed. An elusive creature of the wide-open plains, open woodlands and brushlands, the cheetah often reaches speeds in excess of 65 miles per hour in short hunting bursts, but seldom pursues prey further that 500 yards.



Zoological name: Acinonyx jubatus

Species: Today only an estimated 200 of this sub-specie exist in small isolated groups scattered throughout Eastern Iran.The King Cheetah was once considered it own specie, however now it has been proven to be nothing more than a genetic mutation. King Cheetah originated from Central Africa, where they were used for hunting. These Cheetah were part of a breeding program to acquire genetic mutations, such as fur patterns, size, and rare and unusual color forms, with no regard to the genetic integrity of the specie. This African Cheetah can only be found naturally in Zimbabwe and South Africa Transvaal Province providing that both of the parents carry the recessive gene.

Physical appearance: The cheetah has a slender, long-legged body with blunt semi-retractable claws. Its coat is tan with small, round, black spots, and the fur is coarse and short. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes. Black "tear marks", which run from the corner of its eyes down the sides of the nose to its mouth, keep the sun out of its eyes and aid in hunting.

Size: Adult body length 112-135cm; tail length 66-84cm; shoulder height 73+cm; weight 34-54kg. The male is slightly larger than the female.

Presence on the planet: The Cheetah was once widely distributed throughout Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Asia Minor, and even East of India. Fossils were recorded to be found from China, Northern India, Southern Europe, and as far as the Western United States. Sadly now the specie is burning out and can be found sparsely scattered amongst Namibia, Kenya, Asia, as well as a handful of other small countries.

Habitat: Cheetahs thrive in areas with vast expanses of land where prey is abundant. In Namibia cheetahs have been found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands,savannahs, dense vegetation, and mountainous terrain. Ninety-five percent live on commercial farms.

Diet: The cheetah eats gazelles, young antelope, young calves, warthogs, hares, and game birds. They typically stalk their prey until they are only 30 to 90 feet away. They then burst into a chase that lasts about 20 seconds. The cheetah successfully catches its prey in about half of the chases.

Reproduction & Offspring: : Unlike most cats, cheetahs breed throughout the year without a regular breeding season. After a period of 90 to 95 days, a litter of 1 to 8 cubs will be born. The average litter is 4 or 5 cubs. The cubs weigh about half a pound, have no teeth, and their eyes are closed. They also have a blue-gray mane on their backs, aiding in camouflage. Males to not take part in raising the cubs. The mother raises them on her own.



Conservation status:Population estimates vary from 2,000 to 15,000. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) classifies the cheetah as vunerable, with the African sub-species as endangered and the Asiatic sub-species as critically endangered. The cheetah is listed as endangered and is on Appendix 1 of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).

Life span: 10-15 years
The spotted mystery !

The word "Cheetah" is derived from the Hindi word "Chita" meaning "spotted one". The Cheetah is the fastest land animal reaching speeds of 45 - 70 mph. Cheetahs have also been known to swim, although they do not like to. The Cheetah is not one of the Great Cats, because it does not have a floating Hyoid bone in its neck it can not roar, therefore it is a Lesser Cat. Cheetahs have been considered through out history to be a sleek and beautiful cats.

<b>Azure gets up and goes out on a hunt</b>

11-5-2011 at 3:04 PM
Krio sighs and looks around the area, spotting a few others. He turns back to Azure and sits.

11-5-2011 at 2:56 PM
Alki sighed smiling as she move dirt with her tail as it went back and forth swaying<br /> <br /> Tosaki sighed and made a chirping noise calling Alki wondering whereshe was

11-4-2011 at 8:04 PM
<b>She nodded and smiled then sat back down.</b>

11-4-2011 at 7:51 PM
Krio nods and send one last message, 'is this pack... yours? May I join?" He says and leans back more, still drained but he could probably send more, he sighed.

11-4-2011 at 7:50 PM
<b>Azure looked at him knowing it had drained lots of energy from him. Alpha's were granted with the power to Last longer when talking with there minds.</b>

11-4-2011 at 7:44 PM
(yes but maybe it makes them more tired doing so, like it takes an effort to do so)<br /> <br /> Krio nods, 'Yes, I have already seen the lion you have as well' he says back through his mind and sits down like it drained some of his strength to get that out.

11-4-2011 at 7:42 PM
<b>She looked at him and talks to him through her mind <i>Stay close to the pride, the lions have been seen and the rain makes and air cold and harsh</i> she looked up</b><br /> <br /> <br /> (maybe once in a while only the cheetahs with powers can communicate with there mind)

11-4-2011 at 7:41 PM
Alki sighed <br /> <br /> Tosaki saw Kiro<br /> <br />gotta go! be on tomorrow

11-4-2011 at 7:40 PM
Krio looked into Azure's eyes thinking, 'yes, why did you call me over?' He looked down suddenly.

11-4-2011 at 7:36 PM
<b>Azure felt other females would hurt her chance of having a litter. she felt that if another female could have a litter in her pride she would have to fight her... she did not feel like being challenged</b>

11-4-2011 at 7:35 PM
Krio walked over and bowed his head as if in respect to the other white cheetah.

11-4-2011 at 7:29 PM
Alki saw Krio and sighed<br /> <br /> Tosaki watched as rain drops fall all around him

11-4-2011 at 7:28 PM
<b>Azure seen Krio out in the Open and made a cheetah Chirp telling him to come over</b>

11-4-2011 at 7:27 PM
Karia ran through the rain, trying to find shelter. She picked up cheetah scents and found a bunch of them there. What was weird was that at least one was white, a legend her mom had said.<br /> <br /> Krio sighed and the rain poured and went to find shelter. he found a nice area and picked up a scent, 'is that the white cheetah?' he asked as he noticed a white cheetah out in the open and sighed.

11-4-2011 at 7:23 PM
<b>Rokube, Azures brother stood over the pride and jumped down from a high rock... Rokube was half white cheetah and half normal. chest fur was white and so was his ears, paws, and tail.</b>

11-4-2011 at 7:22 PM
Alki's fur looked Bright White

11-4-2011 at 7:22 PM
<b>Azure thought to herself <i>Great... rain, and just before mating season... this is a disaster</i> She already had her Heat scent and rolled in grass to cover her scent she walked out and smelled for food</b>
