00:11 All cheetahs are born with spots.
00:15 With the cubs, the one thing that's unique about them
00:17 is they have, from the head all the way down to the tail tip,
00:20 a very thick fur that's grayish.
00:22 It helps them to hide in their environment more.
00:26 The spots that they're born with are the spots
00:28 that they will have as an adult.
00:32 Every cheetah does have its own unique set of spots,
00:35 just like humans have their fingerprints, which makes
00:38 each of them unique to themselves.
00:40 Same applies to any animal that has spots, stripes,
00:43 or some other kind of pattern.
00:45 We can use the spots of a cheetah, even the tail bands
00:48 on the tip of the tail, as a way to identify individual animals.
