Cheetahs are fast moving predators that live for 30-40 years. That are about 30 inches at the shoulder, and weigh around 120 pounds. They live in the open plains of Africa. Cheetahs eat small antelopes, rabbits, impalas, gazelles, and low flying birds. Once they make their kill they have to eat fast or scavengers may come to take their meal. Their predators consist of humans, hyenas, and lions. The cheetah is made for speed that can get up to 70 mph because of its long narrow body, small head, strong muscular legs, tail for balance, and non-retractable claws. Unlike most big cats the cheetah can not roar but can purr and hiss. So the cheetah out of all big cats is known for its speed and grace.
