A cat made for SPEED!



Hi its Cassowarygirl. Today we are learning about the fastest running animal on earth. You guessed  it, a CHEETAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A cheetah is very very very very very VERY fast! A cheetah can run as fast as a sports car  – 112km per hour! Wow thats so fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheetahs have long legs and light bodies. This makes cheetahs perfect for catching its prey. A cheetah's life span is from 10 to 12 years – that means my brother would be a grandpa!!!
A cheetah isn't only famous for its incredible speed its also famous for its spot patterns. You can buy cheetah print clothing. Cheetahs have a black line under each eye. Those lines are to block the sun so the cheetah can look for is prey. Cheetahs climb on things like big rocks so they can get a good view so they can spot there prey.





Cheetahs are carnivores. A cheetah's main prey is the Thomson's gazelle. Cheetahs eat and drink very fast. They do this because there are lots of animals in the African savannah who want to steal a cheetah's lunch. Some people think that cheetahs roar but they don't roar at all. Believe it or not, but cheetahs actually chirp like a bird!

My article is now over.

bye-bye!
