A cheetah is a large, slender feline renowned for being the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 mph (113 km/h). It has a sleek, tan coat adorned with distinctive black spots, a small rounded head, and long limbs designed for high-speed chases. Cheetahs primarily inhabit open savannas and grasslands in Africa, where they hunt during the day using their incredible speed and keen eyesight to catch prey. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs cannot roar but communicate through various sounds such as purrs, chirps, and growls. Their remarkable speed and agility make them exceptional hunters and fascinating creatures.
