THE CHEETAH
The
cheetah is the fastest animal on land. It can 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.
