Cheetah

Cheetah

The cheetah is the fastest land mammal. Built for speed, the cheetah has extremely long legs, standing over 3 ft in height. The length of the head and body is approximately 4 ft, the tail is approximately 2 ft and the cheetah is quite heavy, weighing over 100 lbs. Considered a member of the 'big cat' family, the cheetah crouches with feet out front, as opposed to the 'small cats' which tuck their paws in, under their body. MORE! [BM] {FW}
