What this page adds
The Cheetah is a slender, tawny-yellow cat with distinctive solid black spots covering its body. It has long, powerful legs and a small head, instantly recognized by prominent black 'tear marks' running from its eyes to its mouth, making it visually distinct from leopards or jaguars.
Cheetahs don't roar like lions; they purr, chirp, and even meow like house cats!
Cheetahs hunt during the day to avoid bigger predators like lions and hyenas.
Each cheetah has a unique spot pattern, like a human's fingerprint!
