Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Watch a cheetah up-close as it chases its prey
The cheetah is a large wild cat that has narrow shoulder blades and long limbs. Adult cheetahs reach 67 to 94 cm at the shoulder and weigh between 21 and 65 kg. Unlike other big cat species, cheetahs cannot roar. Instead, they chirp, purr, and make other noises. They mainly live in grasslands, mountains, and deserts in southern and eastern Africa, some in Iran, but their habitat has shrunk to one-tenth of their historic range. Because of the habitat loss, conflict with and poaching by humans, their population is estimated to be around 6,500, and the cheetah is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. They are active during the day, during dawn and dusk in particular, and hunt small mammals like hares and birds, to medium-sized mammals like gazelles and impalas, in deserts, savannas, or grasslands. The cheetah is the world’s fastest land animal, top speed reaching 100 km/h, to chase their prey. Can you imagine how it runs?
Watch the video to see how the fastest land animal runs in close range.
