Cheetahs, the fastest land mammals in the world, are built for speed. They can reach running speeds of up to 70 mph, and they can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in three seconds.
Full-grown cheetahs are about 4 feet long, not including a 30-inch tail. They weigh about 75 to 145 pounds and are 2 to 3 feet tall at the shoulder.
Their deep chests and enlarged hearts, lungs and nostrils help cheetahs take in more oxygen during intense chases. Their high-set eyes have a 210-degree field of view. Non-retractable claws help them gain traction when running on soft ground, and their tails help them balance as they make sharp, high-speed turns while chasing their prey.
The mother cheetah hides her cubs until they're five or six weeks old; after that, the cubs follow their mom and share her kills. They wean when they're around three months old and live with their mother for about 18 months. The female cubs then head off on their own, while the males remain together for life in a coalition.
Lions and leopards can attack a cheetah and steal its kill, so cheetahs try to avoid them by hunting in the middle of the day. Cheetahs usually eat their prey right away since they're not strong enough to hide it or fend off other predators.
Cheetahs can breed at any time of year, but they tend to mate in the dry season. Cubs are born about three months later, at the start of the wet season. There are usually three to five cubs in a litter, and each newborn cheetah cub weighs only 5 to 10 ounces.
