+==== Black tear-marks ====
+The black "tear marks" that cover the cheetah's face prevent the sun from penetrating and blinding the animal while hunting. [([[https://wildlifeact.com/blog/why-do-cheetah-have-tear-marks/|Wildlife Act]])]
+==== Can't roar ====
+Cheetahs are the only big cats that cannot roar. They can purr, however, and usually purr loudest when they are grooming or sitting near other cheetahs. [([[https://www.nwf.org/Magazines/National-Wildlife/1995/Questions-and-Answers-About-Wildlife|The National Wildlife Federation]])]
