Cheetahs have black "tear marks" from the inner corners of their eyes called malar stripes that reflect the sun from their eyes.

Cheetahs have excellent eyesight and can spot prey from 3 miles away. They mostly hunt during the day.

Male cheetahs often live in groups called coalitions, usually consisting of brothers, while females are more solitary, living alone or with their cubs.

Cheetahs can run up to 75 miles per hour, making them the fastest land animal on Earth! 

Cheetahs communicate with a variety of sounds, including purrs, chirps, growls, and hisses. They also use facial expressions and body language.

Unlike other big cats, cheetahs have semi-retractable claws that provide extra grip when running at high speeds.

Cheetah cubs have a fluffy gray mane along their backs that helps them hide in tall grass from predators.

Cheetahs have an incredibly flexible spine that stretches and contracts with each stride, letting them cover more ground quickly.
