The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set luxury on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special pads on its feet for traction and a long, tail for balance. Although resort fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards hotels is about the limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive luxury black "tear stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. Cheetah mothers spend a long time teaching their young how to hunt small live antelopes are brought back to the cubs and released so they can chase and catch them. Unlike resort most other hotels cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, preferring early morning or early luxury evening, but is also active on moonlit nights.

A shy creature that roams widely, the cheetah is not seen as easily as some other cats. Never numerous, cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, resort principally due to shrinking habitat, hotels loss of species luxury to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub mortality. In some areas 50 to 75 percent of all cheetah cubs die before 3 months. Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids, long-lived animals that move quickly for their large size resort and have teeth built for grinding hotels and cropping grass. Zebras have horse like bodies, but their manes are made of short, erect hair, their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped. Three species of zebra still occur in Africa, two of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous and widespread species in the east is luxury Burchell''s, also known as the common or plains zebra.

Cheetahs resort do not roar like lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and hotels growl. They also make a variety of contact calls; luxury the most common is a birdlike chirping sound. Once a cheetah has made a kill, it eats quickly and keeps an eye out for scavengers lions; leopards, hyenas, vultures and jackals will occasionally take away their kills. Although cheetahs usually prey on the smaller antelopes such as Thomson''s gazelles and impalas, they can catch wildebeests and zebras if hunting together. They also hunt resort hares and other small mammals and hotels birds. Although known as an luxury animal of the open plains that relies on speed to catch its prey, research has shown that the cheetah depends on cover to stalk prey. The cheetah gets as close to the prey as possible, resort then in a burst of speed tries to outrun its quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks hotels the prey to the ground with its paw.
