The Main Home and the Size

Where do cheetahs live?

Cheetahs live primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and a tiny population in central Iran.

A cheetahs size.

As tall as a kitchen table (3 feet or 91  centimeters), but light and sleek so they can fly across the ground.

The Quickster

Top Speed.

A cheetahs top speed is 70 miles per hour! That means they can keep up with cars on the highway!

The Sudden Move.

Under 3 seconds Cheetahs go from 0 to 60 MPH. That is faster than a high-tech sports car.

The Sudden stop.

Cheetahs can stop on a dime because their claws act like soccer cleats to grip the dirt.

The Meaning.

Chita literally means "the spotted one" because of all the tiny dark dots painted across its fur
