Cheetahs
There are many endangered species in the world and the cheetah is one of them. This beautiful animal is becoming an animal with little of its species left and needs to be saved.
The cheetah is the only living representative of its genus. It can weigh between 130 - 145 pounds, and be as long as 7 feet including the tail. The cheetah has a small arched head, which is attached to a small neck. Its facial features include a short nose and a black stripe from the corner of the eye to the mouth. Its slender body makes it easier to make sharp turns when it is running at high speeds such as 70mph, that can be reached in a short time of three seconds. This speed can be maintained for as far as the lengths of three football fields. (geocities.com) Its thin, long legs also help the speed of the cheetah, which is the fastest mammal alive. It has a tawny to pale-buff or grayish-white coat. Atop the coat there is round black spots that lie close together. The under parts are white. The tail is extremely long with black rings that go right up to the tip of the tail. The weight of the tail helps the cheetah keep its balance while running.

300 feet away. A cheetah's diet consists of gazelle, antelope, wildebeest, hares, and zebras. The females gestation period lasts from three months to ninety-five days. The female usually gives birth to 3-5 cubs on average.
The cheetah is located in mostly semi-desert areas. From Asia to India, Africa to Namibia, and the steppe areas of Iran, the cheetah is becoming less common everyday. Human activity is a portion of the cheetah's cause of death. The cheetah has been classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN; it is listed under Appendix I of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). In 2014 the CITES Standing Committee recognised the cheetah as a "species of priority" in their strategies in northeastern Africa to counter wildlife trafficking.
