There is a certain similarity between the coat pattern of the king cheetah and that of marbled Bengal cats or perhaps the pattern is somewhere in between the classic spotted coat and the marbled coat of the Bengal cat. I particularly refer to the dense lines running down either side of the spine of …
Overview The cheetah is known throughout the world as the fastest animal on land. The speed is perhaps somewhat exaggerated. My research indicats 64 mph max. The cheetah is inbred. There are other wildcats that are inbred: Siberian tiger to name one. The cheetah has been tamed and has a long history of thousands …
What is starkly apparent when working on this map is the rapidity of change of the cheetah geographic range, which is marked on the map above in red (as at 2009). And as expected it always becomes smaller. Wild Cats Of The World by Mel and Fiona Lunquist published in 2002, describes a range that …
The Cheetah habitat is, as this fine photograph shows, an open one, suitable to a group of other animals and plants with which this fine cat shares the habitat (a biotope). The picture above was taken in Namibian grassland. Namibia (opens to Google map in new window) is located in the South East of …

I’ll take a liberty and say that for “cheetah print bedding” I can add leopard print and in fact spotted wildcat print bedding. I say this because the cheetah has a spotted coat. The spots are solid black and evenly spaced against a yellow or tan background. The more glamorous coat for a wild …

Date of posting: 17-9-09 – where do cheetahs live?: On the Cheetah Habitat page I discuss the type of landscape in which cheetahs live. Here, however, I discuss the location of that habitat. A bit of history first. The cheetah was found in Europe (believe it or not), Asia, Africa and North America (also …
