THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL

                                              Cheetah is a typical member of the cat family Its superb speed climbing abilities.It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h.Black tear marks  run from the corner of its eyes down the sides of the nose to its mouth to keep sunlight out of its eyes and to aid in hunting and seeing long distances.Although it can reach high speeds, its body cannot stand long distance running.I saw a scene in animal planet cheetah catching a small deer the deer is running like z type so that it can never keep up  so it just stopped the deer escaped. so that with its body it cannot cover long distance.cheetahs with larger and merged spots are known as king cheetahs.Then female cheetah give birth to 9 cubs in ninety to ninety eight days. The first eighteen months of a cub's life are important - cubs learn many lessons because survival depends on knowing how to hunt wild prey species and avoid other predators.At eighteen months, the mother leaves the cubs, who then form a sibling,  group, that will stay together for another six months.And about 2 years the female leave the group then the young males remain together for life.
