Cheetah – The Speedster of the Savanna

✅ Scientific Name: Acinonyx jubatus

🎯 Classification: Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae

🌍 Habitat: Grasslands and open plains of sub-Saharan Africa

💡 Did you know? Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, reaching speeds up to 70 mph.

🐾 They use their tail as a rudder to steer during high-speed chases.

🌈 Unlike other big cats, cheetahs cannot roar—they chirp, hiss, and purr.

✨ Their distinctive black “tear marks” help reduce sun glare and focus better on prey.
