The amazing Cheetah
Hay guys today I’m going to tell you facts about the spectacular and curious
animal called a Cheetah. As you probably know
Cheetahs are very fascinating animals and that is why today I’m going to tell you
about them.
(Habitat)
Cheetahs are found across Africa, primarily in northern Africa and they are scattered
across eastern and southern Africa. Cheetahs can be found in dry forests, grasslands,
open plains and desert regions.
A small population lives in Iran, where they are critically endangered (Cheetahs
once roamed much of Africa and Asia, but are now
endangered.
Their loss of habitat, lack of prey to feed on,
and their vulnerability to humans, hunters, and poachers has increased their risk
of becoming extinct). Cheetahs live in a variety of environments.
(Eat)
Cheetahs mostly eat small to midsize mammals such as gazelles,
impala, guinea fowl,
and hares. Cheetahs hunt at dusk or dawn. They hunt by sight. Once they
spot prey they will
sneak up as close as they can and then use their superior speed to
catch the prey. Cheetahs
will usually eat their meal as fast as possible before a lion or a pack
of hyenas can take it away.
These large felines do not need much water to survive, they
get most of what they need while
eating.
(Looks Like)
Cheetahs have a short tan coat that has small black spots which helps them to
hide or be camouflaged.
There are no spots on the cheetah's white stomach area.
Adult cheetahs
will grow to between 90 and 140 pounds and around 4 to 4.5 feet long.
They have a slim body,
long legs, a deep chest, and a narrow waist. The female cheetah is
usually smaller than the
male, but there are no major differences in appearance between the
male and female
cheetah.
(Special Features)
When a Cheetah is running it’s back legs go in front of its front legs. A cheetah is built
for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck,
a flexible spine
, a deep chest, non retractable claws, special pads on its feet for traction and a long
tail for balance.
Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long
distances (100 yards is about the limit) because it may overheat.
A baby Cheetah is called a cub.
Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect from the
inside corner of each
eye to the mouth that may serve as an anti glare device for daytime hunting.
(Movement)
The spectacle of a cheetah running at full speed is art.
The anatomy and physique facilitating its speed and agility is genetic
engineering at its best. The cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 60
mph in 3 seconds,
making it the fastest land animal on the planet. The cheetah is a sprinter,
not a long distance
runner – and can only attain high speeds in short bursts due to
the tremendous drain on its
energy resources. It could take up to 30 minutes for a cheetah to recover
from a chase.
Thank you so much for reading my information report. Thank you for taking the
time to
read my information report. I love Cheetahs and I hope you do too. Bye!!!!

My spectacular story
It was Friday the 13th and Jeremy was in the passenger seat of his car. He was thinking of the payday from his boss. There were children running around on the playground in the school grounds. It would have been normal except for Jeremy was recording it all on his camera. As you can probably tell Jeremy was a spy, it was his job to spy on only one kid named Michaela.
Suddenly Jeremy saw Michaela walking somewhere else at the school he was assuming the court, so without looking where he was going he ran to the court. But when he was halfway there he realised that Michaela was not going to the court. But she was moving school! He found out that the school’s name was cheetah school.
Then his car broke down so he had to walk, and he fell into the sewers! As he stumped through the thick thick mud he looked up directions to cheetah school on his phone. He followed the directions and it turned out that squinting in the sewers was faster than the car that Michaela was in because of all the traffic up on the rods.
Soon (as in 25 minutes later) he managed to get rite under the gate to cheetah school but the only problem was how was he going to get up without anyone noticing him? He looked for an exit but he couldn't find one. He heard Michaela skipping up to the school gates then he realised that what he thought was 25 minutes was accidentally 8 whole hours! So it was now 8am! He needed to get out of the sewers soon because he just realised how hungry he was!
Soon he found an exit and he sat there on the road trying to get an Uber to take him back under a big abandoned bridge. When the Uber driver finally came he hoped in and went to the abandoned bridge where he said to his boss “I quit you don't even pay me enough to spy on one kid at one school" Suddenly Jeremy's boss gave him a sincere and sad "fine you're fired you where never good enough anyway". 5 years later Jeremy got married to a lovely lady named Amanda also they had a baby girl they named Emma.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The End ❤
