Cheetah-+Katelyn+H

My animal is a cheetah. You can find most cheetahs in Africa and the Middle East in a free grassy land. Cheetahs eat mostly hoofed mammals weighing less than 90 lbs. usually zebras, gazelle, deer, warthogs, hares, and birds. The animals that eat the cheetah are hyenas, lions, and large eagles. They mostly get pregnant in dry season. The female must be 21-22 months old to get pregnant. It takes 90-98 days for the baby to be fully developed. They give live birth. A threat to cheetahs are habitat loss caused by humans & lions, hyenas, and jackals. An interesting fact is that they fan get up to 47 MPH in 2.5 seconds.

A threat to the cheetah is habitat loss. This is causes by humans trying to take over there free grassy plains. Some other threats are lions, hyenas, and jackals. These animals want the cheetahs for food. The IUCN status of the cheetah is critically endangered. Which means cheetahs are trying to go endangered. IUCN stands for International Union for the Conservation of Nature. A group trying to help the cheetahs is the cheetah conservatory.They help and protect the cheetahs and keep them safe. They protect them so they don't get poached and stay alive.

Me and my friends could try to raise some money for the cheetah conservatory. We could have a lemonade stand on a hot Saturday afternoon. After we raise as much money as we want we could put it all in an envelope and sent it off to the cheetah conservatory in California.
