Spots and Stripes
Cheetahs have black "tear marks" from the inner corners of their eyes called malar stripes that reflect the sun from their eyes.
Excellent Eyesight
Cheetahs have excellent eyesight and can spot prey from 3 miles away. They mostly hunt during the day.
Coalitions
Male cheetahs often live in groups called coalitions, usually consisting of brothers, while females are more solitary, living alone or with their cubs.
Super Speed
Cheetahs can run up to 75 miles per hour, making them the fastest land animal on Earth!
Vicious Vocals
Cheetahs communicate with a variety of sounds, including purrs, chirps, growls, and hisses. They also use facial expressions and body language.
Retractable Claws
Unlike other big cats, cheetahs have semi-retractable claws that provide extra grip when running at high speeds.
