Cheetah report - Taulanga

Did you know that cheetahs are the fastest land mammals on earth? They can run up to 65 km per hour.

Cheetahs have an unique appearance. Firstly, they have spotty fur to help them camouflage with their surroundings. Their large heart, flexible spine and even their long tails help them run fast.

Cheetahs hunt for their own food. When cheetahs eat, they have to eat fast before another cat comes and steals their food including themselves. Cheetahs hunt in groups of twos.

Finally, cheetahs live in the middle east of Africa. There are 10,000 cheetahs living in the wild. Farmers kill cheetahs because they think that the cheetahs will eat their animals. Also Cheetahs used to be kept as pet for hunting.

I think that we should help. Cheetahs have to be kept away from farmers. They should be given lots of food in the wild because there are so many things that can destroy cheetahs.

Thank you for reading.
