Explanation:

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, estimated to be capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph) with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h (58 and 61 mph), and as such has several adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail. It typically reaches 67–94 cm (26–37 in) at the shoulder, and the head-and-body length is between 1.1 and 1.5 m (3 ft 7 in and 4 ft 11 in). Adults weigh between 21 and 72 kg (46 and 159 lb). Its head is small and rounded, and has a short snout and black tear-like facial streaks. The coat is typically tawny to creamy white or pale buff and is mostly covered with evenly spaced, solid black spots. Four subspecies are recognised.

The term antelope is used to refer to many species of even-toed ruminant that are indigenous to various regions in Africa and Eurasia.

Antelope comprise a wastebasket taxon (miscellaneous group) within the family Bovidae,encompassing all Old World ruminants that are not bovines, caprines, deer, or giraffes. One New World species, the pronghorn of North America, is sometimes colloquially referred to as the "American antelope", but they are more distantly related to the Giraffidae family. The "true antelope" are the gazelle, Nanger, Eudorcas and Antilope.

A group of antelope is called a herd. Unlike deer antlers, which are shed and grown annually, antelope horns grow continuously.
