- Cheetahs have a length of 4.3-4.9' head & body, 2-2.5' tail
- Cheetahs have a shoulder height of 2.3-2.8 ft
- Cheetahs weigh 75-150 lbs.
- Cheetah cubs are born with long, grey fur. Some naturalists think that this mimics the ratel, a fierce relative of the badger that few animals dare attack
- Female Cheetahs have been known to catch live prey for their cubs to use as hunting practice.
- The Cheetah makes facial expressions, using the bold black lines around its muzzle to signal its mood.
- The Cheetah is readily distinguished from its spotted relatives by its "tear lines" - heavy black lines extending from the inner corner of each eye to the outer corner of the mouth.
- From a standstill, the cheetah can reach its top speed in about 3 seconds, and can cover almost 33 inches in a single stride.
- Fastest land mammal on Earth; over short distances it can reach a speed of over 60 mph.
- Do not follow Wesley Willis' advice in the song "suck a cheetah's dick", this will only enrage the animal.
- Provided you do not adhere to the previous point, you should be safe unless you corner the animal, they instinctively run rather than attack.
I don't know what my point is here...oh yes, usual B.C. rules apply: only visit Surrey out of dire need.
