-#REDIRECT [[Cheetah - virtual clones with incredible speed]]+==== Incredible speed ==== 
 +Cheetahs run 25 feet per stride. They can run up to 70 mph. [([[http://www.smithsonianmag.com/making-a-difference/rare-breed-20811232/|Smithsonian]])] 
 + 
 +==== Virtual clones ==== 
 +Their blood enzymes are all alike - they are virtual clones
 +[([[https://animals.howstuffworks.com/mammals/are-cheetahs-clones-of-each-other.htm|How Stuff Works]])] 
 + 
 +==== Sub-Saharan Africa ==== 
 +Almost all wild cheetahs are found in sub-Saharan Africa, where they roam the open grassy plains of the savannah and open forests. A small population lives in northeastern Iran, though only a few dozen remain. 
 +[([[https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/animals/general-animals/cheetah-facts/|NatGeo Kids]])] 
 + 
 +==== Carnivores ==== 
 +Cheetahs are carnivores and live off other animals they find on the African plains, including rabbits, warthogs, gazelles, and birds. [([[https://cheetah.org/learn/about-cheetahs/|Cheetah]])] 
 + 
 +==== Female cheetahs are solitary ==== 
 +Female cheetahs are solitary, living alone or with their young. Males, however, live in small groups. [([[http://marameru.org/eng/project/social-behavior/|Mara Meru]])] 
 + 
 +==== 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]])]
