An introduction to the physical characteristics, behavior, natural environment, and threats to the survival of the cheetah, considered to be the fastest land animal on Earth.
The fastest mammal on earth is profiled in this title from the "Big Cats" series. This fact hooks the reader in on the first page, along with comparative speeds of humans, greyhounds and gazelles. The flexible spine, long legs and ground-gripping claws propel the speed machine toward one goal food. Twenty-four pages of text covers a cheetah's diet and dining habits (fast, the way they run), their territory and the manner in which females raise their cubs. Cheetahs face extinction due to poachers killing them for their valuable pelts, predators and disease. In an interesting evolutionary twist, disease brought cheetahs to the brink of extinction 10,000 years ago. Today's cheetahs descended from the few survivors. Genetically, the species is weak. This book would be a good introduction to the subject of evolution. Full-color, full-page photographs illustrate the text. Back matter includes further reading and videos, zoos to visit, web sites, a glossary of terms and an index. 2002, Gareth Stevens,
