Do you ever wonder how fast a cheetah is? Well they are the fastest land mammal on earth. They can run at an amazing speeds of up to 60km an hour. Wow that is unbelievable, now that's fast!
Cheetahs have beautiful unique appearance. They have a wonderful spotty fur to help them to link with other colours in Africa. That's called camouflage. Cheetah's claws help them to get a hard on grip when they are running at incredible speeds. Their large heart and lungs help them to run long distances. Their flexible spine and extremely long tail also help them run fast.
Cheetahs have to eat their food quickly so other animals won't steal it from them, like lions and hyenas. Cheetahs chase there pray for one minute. A cheetah will not fight with any animal that will hurt it or damage it in any way. Cheetahs don't know how to roar.
I think we should not harm cheetahs because their population is getting smaller. Farmers are shooting them because they think they are eating the farm animals or killing them for their fur. We should make a reserve for them to keep them safe.
