cheetah

 cheetah

—Cheetah as you known that it is the faster animal in the world it found in Africa part of Middle part. It speed is 112 to 120 km/h it is a species of A. jubatus it’s family of Felidae. 

Etymology

—The word ‘cheetah’ come from Sanskrit. Cheetah has unusually genetic variability much larger than modern cheetah are found in Europe & India. The cheetah evolved in Africa Miocene (26 million years ago).

Subspecies

z—Although many sources list six or more subspecies of cheetah, Acinonyx rex—the king cheetah The subspecies Acinonyx jubatus guttatus, may also have been a variation due to a recessive gene.

Morphs and variations

Adaptations that enable the cheetah to run as fast as it does include large nostrils that allow for increased oxygen intake, and an enlarged heart and lungs that work together to circulate oxygen efficiently. 

 King cheetah

—The king cheetah is a rare mutation of the cheetah characterized by a distinct fur pattern. Twenty-two such skins were found between 1926 and 1974. Since 1927, the king cheetah was reported five more times in the wild. Although strangely marked skins had come from Africa, a live king cheetah was not photographed until 1974 in South Africa's Kruger National Park

Habitat

—It is possible, though doubtful, that some cheetahs remain in India. There have also been several unconfirmed reports of Asiatic Cheetahs in the Balochistan province of Pakistan, with at least one dead animal being discovered recently

Reproduction and behavior

—This gives them a mane or Mohawk-type appearance; this fur is shed as the cheetah grows older. It has been speculated this mane gives a cheetah cub the appearance of the hone badger (ratel), to scare away potential aggressors. Cubs leave their mother between thirteen and twenty months after birth. Life span is up to twelve years in the wild, but up to twenty years in captivity.

Females

—The size of a home range depends entirely on the availability of prey. Cheetahs in southern African woodlands have ranges as small as 34 km2 (13 sq mi), while in some parts of Namibia they can reach 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi).

Conservation status

—The South African Cheetah Conservation Foundation has close links and assists in training and sharing program successes with other countries where cheetahs live, including Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Iran and Algeria. The organization's international program includes distributing materials, lending resources and support, and providing training through Africa and the rest of the world.

Other color variations

Raja Bir Singh Deo brought a white cheetah to show me. Although other sorts of creatures, both birds and beasts have white varieties ... I had never seen a white cheetah. Its spots, which are (usually) black, were of a blue color, and the whiteness of the body also inclined to bluishness.

Vocalizations

—Growling: This vocalization is often accompanied by hissing and spitting and is exhibited by the cheetah during annoyance, or when faced with danger. Yowling: This is an escalated version of growling, usually displayed when danger worsens.

Territories

—Males are territorial. Females' home ranges can be very large and a territory including several females' ranges is impossible to defend. Instead, males choose the points at which several of the females' home ranges overlap, creating a much smaller space, which can be properly defended against intruders while maximizing the chance of reproduction

Relationship with humans

Cheetahs were formerly, and sometimes still are, hunted because many farmers believe that they eat livestock. When the species came under threat, numerous campaigns were launched to try to educate farmers and encourage them to conserve cheetahs.

Running of cheetah

—Cheetah is running with the help of his long legs. His speed maximum 120 km/h. He run of the help of the soil and grasses. After hunt  an animal he gets very tired. Every animal like hyena & leopard can  take the prey of the cheetah & he can’t fight.

 

Hunting

Cheetah skull

—Africa 10,000-12,000 remaining cheetahs are found only in scattered areas of sub- Sahara , with a remnant population of less than 100 in than. Their long legs, deep chest, long flexible spine and semi-retractable claws provide them the resources to claim the title of "fastest land animal" by running at speeds of up to 55 mph for short sprints.

Diet and hunting

The cheetah hunts by vision rather than by scent. Prey is stalked to within 10–30 m (33–98 ft), then chased. This is usually over in less than a minute, and if the cheetah fails to make a catch quickly, it will give up. The cheetah has an average hunting success rate of around 50%.

Cheetahs & leopard differences 

cheetahs                                            

Cheetahs typically live between 8 and 10 years in the wild, and up to 17 years in captivity. Females begin breeding at around 21 or 22 months old.

leopard

. The expected time to fixation of this recessive allele due to genetic drift alone ranged from about 1,100 years to about 100,000 years.

Melanism in leopards has been hypothesized to be causally associated with a selective advantage for ambush.

Taming

—Akbar the Great, ruler of the Mughal Empire from 1556 to 1605, kept as many as 1,000 cheetahs. As recently as the 1930s, the Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie, was often photographed leading a cheetah by a leash. Cheetahs are still tamed in the modern world. One example is Burmani who has been raised in England at Eagle Heights wild animal park from the age of three months. He was bred in a deer park in Germany. He is so tame that he has lost his hunting instinct.

Cubs

—Females give birth to up to nine cubs after a gestation period of ninety to ninety-eight days, although the average litter size is three to five. Cubs weigh from 150 to 300 g (5.3 to 11 oz) at birth. Unlike some other cats, the cheetah is born with its characteristic spots. Cubs are also born with a downy underlying fur on their necks, called a mantle, extending to mid-back. This gives them a mane or Mohawk-type .

Birth of cheetah

—In just a few days we will be launching a brand new live streaming camera called "A Cheetah Cub's Tail". when a cheetah born he can’t see. After 2 weeks he can see anything.

Genetics, evolution, and classification

—Recent research has placed the last common ancestor of all existing populations as living in Asia 11 million years ago, which may lead to revision and refinement of existing ideas about cheetah evolution.

Re-introduction project in India

—"The cheetah is the only animal that has been described extinct in India in the last 100 years. We have to get them from abroad to repopulate the species." He was responding to a call for attention from Rajiv Pratap Rudy of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "The plan to bring back the cheetah, which fell to indiscriminate hunting and complex factors like a fragile breeding pattern is audacious given the problems besetting tiger conservation.

Males

—Males are territorial. Coalitions will try their best to maintain territories to find females with whom they will mate. The size of the territory also depends on the available resources; depending on the part of Africa, the size of a male's territory can vary greatly from 37 to 160 km2 (14 to 62 sq mi).

In popular culture

— The animated series Thunder Cats had a main character who was an anthropomorphic cheetah named Cheetara. In 1986 Frito-Lay introduced an anthropomorphic cheetah, Chester Cheetah, as the mascot for their Cheetos.

Cheetahs eyes

—Cheetahs are catching  animals with the help of their eyes. He always respond on him when he runs @ the speed of 120 km/h he must be respond on him. Cheetahs always hunt in the day so he always  respond on him.

Cheetahs behavior
—Females reach maturity in twenty to twenty-four months and males around twelve months. Although they do not usually mate until they are at least three years old and mating occurs throughout the year. A study of Cheetahs in the Serengeti in Africa showed that females often mate with different males .The Cheetah's mortality rate is very high during the early weeks of its life; up to 90% of Cheetah cubs are killed during this time by lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, or even by eagles. Cheetah cubs often hide in thick brush for safety.

Economic importance

—White Oak Conservation in Yulee, Florida, which maintains a significant population of cheetahs, has cited that captive management presents challenges because of health, nutrition and socialization of the cats, but that these have been overcome through collaborations among wildlife facilities.

SAVE ANIMALS

—It's super-easy to help animals, no matter how old you are. Check out how Save Animals to get a jump-start on making a huge difference in the lives of animal everywhere: Animals are alive for their own reasons, not to entertain us. Animals in movies, circuses, and zoos are denied everything that is natural and important to them. They will never be allowed to hang out with their families, graze, or do anything that they would do in the wild. Refuse to support this cruelty by never going to a zoo, marine park, or circus that uses animals. If your class is planning on dissecting any animal, ask your teacher for a humane alternative assignment, such as using a computer program to perform a virtual dissection. An animal will be saved, and you will actually learn and remember way more! Check out more info on how to get a dissection alternative at your school.
