Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
The adaptability of the Cheetah guarantees its prosperity through several Countries in Africa and Asia. They can run up to 120 km/h and differently from all the other felines, their claws do not retract.
They can measure from 1,3 m to 1,6 m length, from 60 cm to 90 cm high (up to the shoulders) and weigh from 30 kg to 60 kg.
Their fur is golden, covered by small rounded and blacks stains and have two distinct black stripes on the face that go from the height of the tear-duct and go up to the muzzle.
