	MSN Encarta - Cheetah
		Scientists primarily study cheetahs in the wild by using radio tracking, in which a collar with a radio transmitter attached is placed around the neck of a cheetah.
		Adult cheetahs measure 112 to 140 cm (44 to 55 in) from head to rear end and stand 66 to 94 cm (26 to 37 in) at the shoulder.
		Male cheetahs are generally bigger than females, but the size differences between the sexes are not as large as in other big cats, such as lions, tigers, and jaguars.

	Las Vegas SUN: Iran Seeks to Save Rare Cheetahs
		The four adult cheetahs were seen two weeks ago near Naiband, a village in Iran's central desert, said Ziaei, who is one of the scientists surveying the Naiband cheetahs.
		But widespread poaching of cheetahs and their prey during the early years of the 1979 Islamic revolution, along with degradation of habitat due to livestock grazing, have pushed this important predator to the brink of extinction.
		Cheetahs usually die before reaching six months mainly due to hunger, but Ziaei said the latest discoveries and photographs hint at the gradual recovery of prey populations.

		Cheetah are the daytime hunters and this one was desperately hunting for something, but it never found it.
		The cheetah is the fastest land animal on the planet and we were lucky enough to meet up with this cheetah family.
		The cheetah normally only raises one cub a year, occasionally 2 if the mother is a good hunter, but 3 is almost unheard of and this particular female has been observed in previous seasons with 3 as well, so she is a walking population explosion for the cheetah of Masa Mara.

		The Central Cheetahs, who were awarded one of the five South African Super 14 franchises that has now become the centre of a power struggle, are using clever footwork to avoid the dogfight which has split SA rugby and has become a major international embarrassment.
		By taking these steps and making the appointments formal, the Cheetahs are forcing SARU into a legal corner from which there is virtually no escape and which could ultimately lead to costly court cases should the franchise be taken away from the Central region.
		The Central Cheetahs are following, to the letter, the process set out by SARU at a president's council meeting in Durban in April - where they were awarded one of the five franchises.
