00:00 The fastest animal on land - cheetah.

00:02 I'm Mario and this is M from Animals.

00:07 Cheetah is a member of the Felidae family, like lions, tigers and cats.

00:11 It has amazing superpowers.

00:13 It has the best vision from all the terrestrial animals.

00:17 Cheetahs can spot the prey from 5 km away.

00:19 Their black lines around their eyes attract the sunlight so that cheetahs can see clearly

00:24 when it's hot outside, because they live in hot places.

00:28 They are mostly found in Central Africa.

00:30 Some of them can be found in southern Algeria, northern Niger and Iran.

00:35 They like dry places like savannah.

00:36 They have yellow fur with nearly 2000 solid black spots, which helps them camouflage in

00:41 tall savannah grass.

00:43 Every cheetah has a unique pattern of spots on its coat.

00:46 They hunt on antelopes and gazelles such as blastbacks, duikers, grunts, gazelles and

00:51 impalas.

00:53 For hunting they use their amazing speed.

00:55 They can reach up to around 115 km/h, but they can run just for a short amount of time,

01:01 just 60 seconds or 300-400 meters.

01:06 They have a perfect design for running.

01:08 They're lighter and smaller than lions and tigers.

01:11 The head and body length ranges from 112 to 150 cm.

01:16 The cheetah reaches 70-90 cm at the shoulder and weighs 21-72 kg.

01:23 Cheetahs have a long 80 cm tail for balance and for turning quickly.

01:28 They have a very flexible spine and long feet for big jumps with every step.

01:33 Their claws aren't retractable like other cats for better friction with the ground.

01:38 They have a small head for aerodynamics, but are smarter than average cats.

01:42 These characteristics make cheetahs perfect runners.

01:46 Quick fact.

01:47 Samarians used cheetahs for hunting 5000 years ago.

01:50 Quick as a cheetah.

01:51 During the reproduction they form small families for 2 years until the children can't live

01:56 by themselves.

01:58 The female can give birth to 2 or 4 children at once.

02:02 Sometimes the male goes and leaves her with only her children.

02:05 Growing up, the siblings can live in small groups.

02:08 When they are small, they have a bluish-gray coat, to be confused with the aggressive honey

02:13 badgers by other predators like lions, and it changes when they grow up.

02:17 Overall, cheetahs are incredible animals, but, unfortunately, they are in danger of

02:22 extinction.

02:23 They are already extinct in 18 countries due to the habitat loss, pollution and environmental

02:28 changes.

02:29 Even if you don't live in Africa, you can help all animals by recycling, planting trees

02:33 and taking care of your local environment.
