THE CHEETAH
The cheetah is the fastest animal on land. Itcan run 100 kilometers an hour. It is now rare
and is one of the animals which is in danger of
extinction.
The cheetah has a small head and ears, and
long, powerful legs. It always hunts and chases
its prey on open ground.
This is a different way of hunting from the
other “big cats.” They like to stay in and near trees to catch their prey. The
cheetah is also different from other cats because it cannot draw in its claws.
