Description
Deeelicious. This male cheetah is enjoying his afternoon snack. If looks could kill. It's as if he is saying "don't even think about it."
Built more like greyhounds than typical cats, cheetahs are adapted for brief but intense bursts of speed. They have wiry bodies and small heads. Their coats are golden or yellowish, embellished with many small black spots, and their tails are long with a few black bands and sometimes a white tip. Black stripes run from their eyes down to the corners of their mouths.
In terms of size, cheetahs grow to between three and a half and four and a half feet long, not including their 30-inch tails. They weigh between 75 and 145 pounds and stand two to three feet tall at the shoulder. Males tend to be a bit more robust and weigh about ten pounds more than females.
The cheetahs are fun to watch when they are not relaxing and sleeping in the sun. If you are visiting the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC, please be sure to stop by the cheetah exhibit, They are located close to the Connecticut Avenue, NW end of the zoo. Emmy Vickers,
