Cheetah

by Oliver

My animal is the cheetah. It can leap five times the size of its body. Cheetah cubs can retract their claws but lose this ability after 15 weeks. Cheetahs can run very, very fast. They are the fastest land animal in the world. Cheetahs have sharp teeth and claws. Female cheetahs take good care of their cubs. Cheetahs sometimes use thier camouflage. Cheetahs can be found near forestes and grassland areas. It can live anywere in the wild from 10-15 years. It eats warthogs, antelopes, impalas, duiker and gazelle. The cheetah is a carnivore and a predator.
