Description


Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Subfamily: Felinae Genus: Acinonyx Brookes, 1828 Species: A. jubatus Binomial name Acinonyx jubatus (Schreber, 1775) The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. As such, it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 kilometres per hour (70 mph) and 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 460 metres (1,500 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph) in three seconds, greater than most supercars.

Well done! I have had the pleasure of being in an enclusure whis these cats in Oudstshoorn, SA. They are amazing to stroke, the light hair is quite course, like a dogs hair. The black spots are soft, pretty much like a cats fur. Cheers, Clive
