African  Wood Cheetahs

Translate,Traduzem,Traduisent,Übersetzen,Traducen

The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, is the most unique and specialized member of the cat family and can reach speeds of 70 mph. Unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body, longer legs, and has been referred to as the greyhound of the cats. It is not an aggressive animal, using flight versus fight. With its weak jaws and small teeth, the price it paid for speed, it cannot fight larger predators to protect its kill or young.

While cheetahs were once found all over Africa, they are now endangered in most of their former ranges. Cheetahs do not pose a threat to human life. People have carried on the campaign against cheetahs because they believe cheetahs wantonly kill livestock as well as other animals, such as small or young antelopes, causing excessive economic loss. In reality, the amount of damage to domestic stock is exaggerated and is usually caused by a limited number of livestock-preying cats, or "problem" animals, and inadequate livestock practices. Despite these problems, cheetahs have a chance for survival on the vast farmlands of southern Africa.
