	About the Cheetah
		The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, is the most unique and specialized member of the cat family and can reach speeds of 70 mph.
		Unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body, longer legs, and has been referred to as the greyhound of the cats.
		It is not an aggressive animal, using flight versus fight.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Cheetah
		Cheetahs have smaller teeth and larger nasal passages than other big cats, which may be an adaptation that allows them to take in more air during the recovery period after a sprint.
		Cheetahs are solitary and peaceable except at breeding time, when males fight over females and have been known to kill each other.
		Cheetahs are endangered for a number of reasons.

	Cheetah - MSN Encarta
		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.

	Cheetah (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Cheetahs are remarkably genetically similar, subspecies definitions are often the subject of considerable systematic controversy.
		Cheetahs are found in relatively open habitats, grasslands and semi-deserts and never in dense forests or thick bush.
		Cheetahs have been observed to feed on hares and guinea fowl, hartebeest, zebra yearlings, topi, dik dik, kudu calves, reed-buck and water buck.

	Cheetah
		The Cheetahs were used as hunting partners for sport in Asia prior to Assyrian Dynasty in Libia, during the reign of the Pharaohs.
		These Cheetah were part of a breeding program to acquire genetic mutations, such as fur patterns, size, and rare and unusual color forms, with no regard to the genetic integrity of the species.
		By this time the Cheetah is so tired from the chase that it must wait for as long as a half hour before consuming its meal, and could not fend off other predators, who might want to steal the Cheetah’s dinner.

	ADW: Acinonyx jubatus: Information
		In Hindi cheetah means "spotted one." The base color of the upper parts of an adult is tawny to bale bluff or grayish white, and the underparts are paler, often white.
		Cheetahs exhibiting this rare mutation were once thought to be a separate subspecies, but it is now known that they can appear in a litter of normal cheetahs.
		In the past, the cheetah pelt was viewed as a status symbol of wealth, which led to their being hunted.

		The cheetah's face is set off with a fl line extending from the inner corner of the eye to back of the upper lip, outlining the muzzle.
		Cheetah cubs are born with the characteristic facial markings but are covered with a conspicious pelage, a silver grey or white mantel of longish fur on the top of the head and back, with darkened undersides.
		Field studies indicate that cheetahs are not highly sociable cats, outside the relationship between mothers and cubs, although some observations indicate that they may be more sociable in areas where competition from other predators is low, or in areas where they would not be at a disadvantage from the increased visibility of group living.

	Animal Info - Cheetah
		The cheetah is placed in the "puma lineage," which diverged from its ancestors as a separate lineage 7.2 million years ago.
		In East Africa, the cheetah’s main prey is the Thomson’s gazelle on the plains (Serengeti) and impala in the woodlands.
		Turkmenistan, cheetahs primarily took goitered gazelles, and the cheetah's disappearance from this area is strongly associated with the decline of gazelles in the mid-1990's.

	Cheetahs: WhoZoo
		Cheetahs are sometimes mistaken for leopards which are much heavier animals with rosette shaped spots and no tear marks.
		Cheetahs are often persecuted by other predators, who steal their food, eat their cubs, and even attack the adults.
		To the east of the cheetahs are the bongos and to the west are the warthogs.

	Is It a Cheetah?
		If a cheetah is confined to a 10 X 12 foot cage, though it may pace or fling itself against the bars in restless frustration, it won't run 70 mph.
		Given the cheetah's tendency to activity, cats who spend most of their time sleeping in the sun might well label the cheetah hyperactive.
		Cheetah mothers must hide their dens and go to great efforts to protect their cubs, coming and going from the den under deep cover or only in the dead of night or when lions are far away.

	Cheetah
		The cheetahs powerful jaw muscles enable the cat to grip its prey, without pause, for several minutes and it uses this to suffocate its catch by clamping the windpipe.
		Cheetah cubs, born between 2 and 4 to the litter, have a poor survival rate, commonly falling prey to lions or pack of hyenas.
		Once believed to be a sub-species, the king cheetah displays longer fur on the back of the head and neck, resembling a localised mane, as well as elongated spots which join to form long irregular markings along its back.

	Cheetah
		Cheetahs are endangered because of decline in prey, loss of habitat, poaching, and being shot as a livestock predator.
		Cheetahs hunt other animals for food, but they are just "doing their job".
		Cheetahs need a lot of land to survive: they live alone on large territories; their antelope prey need vast areas of land to support their large herds.

	CHEETAH
		So a cheetah tries to get within 50 yd and single out a particular quarry before launching an all out effort; lone animals or group members at a little distance from the rest are often chosen.
		But when a cheetah spots a young gazelle or other antelope that should be hiding, it runs up to 600 yd to claim a small but sure meal.
		Cheetahs bring down quarry either by tripping it or knocking it off balance with a sideward or downward blow to its hindquarters.

	AWF: Wildlife: Cheetah
		Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks the prey to the ground with its paw and suffocates the animal with a bite to the neck.
		Never numerous, cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, principally due to shrinking habitat, loss of species to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub mortality.
		Cheetahs were so popular that Akbar the Great of India was said to have kept a stable of about 1,000.

	Cheetah
		A cheetah has a long streamlined body, flexible spine, long legs, a long tail that acts as a rudder, an enlarged heart, large lungs and semi retractable blunt claws which aid the cats traction and turning ability at high speed.
		Cheetahs can reach a speed approaching 70 mph(+110 kph); however this speed can be maintained for only a few hundred yards or for about one minute.
		The average life span of a cheetah (radio-collared female) in the wild is 6.9 years, while in captivity the average age increases to 11.7 years.

	Cheetah Facts - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Cheetahs stalk their prey, approaching to within about 50 feet before dashing out from cover and sprinting at the targeted animals.
		Scientists have also found that many cheetahs suffer from genetic defects due to inbreeding, possibly the result of a population bottleneck—a sharp decline—that occurred perhaps as far back as 10,000 years ago.
		Cheetah strongholds, where possible, must be connected to allow genetic interchange if this species is to survive.

		All cheetahs are endangered due to excessive hunting for their skins, and severely inbred because of a plague that swept across Africa in the last Ice age over 10,000 years ago, leaving only a few thousand cheetahs.
		Cheetahs have a sperm count that is 90% lower than a tiger or lion, and on top of that, 75% of the sperm are abnormal, having multiple tails, no tail, multiple heads, and even no heads.
		Cheetahs are also threatened by lions, who will kill adult cheetahs if they can catch them, and kill their cubs when they find them hidden in the grass.

	A New Conservation Strategy for the Namibian Cheetah
		The abundance of cheetah in Namibia is correlated with the large amounts of open rangeland, the high density of prey species, and the absence of the cheetah’s natural predators, including lions, leopards and hyenas.
		Cheetah removals may be under-reported to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry may be somewhat tolerant of the farmers' actions (Wycoff-Baird, personal communication).

	Problem D - Cheetah
		The cheetah quietly and discreetly closes in on the prey.
		When the cheetah is at position (Cx, Cy) and the prey at position (Px, Py), the prey realizes that the cheetah is close by and starts running with the constant speed of U feet per second at an angle P with the positive direction of X-axis.
		The cheetah also starts running at a constant speed of V feet per second at an angle C to ensure that he can catch the prey with minimum effort.
