TRANSCRIPT

Cheetah -The fastest land animal in the world.

-The cheetah’s slender, long-legged body is built for speed.

-Cheetahs are tan in color with black spots all over their bodies.

Cheetah-Cheetahs are found in some parts Africa and a small portion of Iran.

-They feed with gazelles(such as small deers), wildebeest calves, impalas and smaller hoofed animals.

- Cheetahs knock their prey to the ground and kill with a suffocating bite to the neck. They must eat quickly before they lose the kills to other bigger or more aggressive carnivores.

Cheetah -The cheetah’s future is uncertain due to a variety of threats.

-The biggest threat is the loss of habitat due to human encroachment.

-There is also a large number of cub deaths as they are often eaten by carnivores(flesh eating animals) like lions

Cheetah - Livestock farmers use the rifles

(gun) to shoot cheetahs for protecting their livestocks.

- The cheetah's future may look dim, but conservationists have been working to lessen the decline. They teach farmers to use guard dogs to protect their livestocks.
