Cheetah Stretch

Just as it became light enough to see, this cheetah arose from beneath a Karoo bush and slouched to an old anthill. It was cold and misty and the cheetah assessed her surroundings for prey or predator before having an almighty stretch from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. And so the day began – getting going to hunt for breakfast amongst the scrub thorn on the flat karoo plains.

Cheetah - Acinonyx jubatus

A Cheetah is a cat with a greyhound chassis. It is built for speed, is light boned, swaybacked with long thin legs and a short neck. Cheetah are tawny in colour with small, solid black spots; white underparts, outer tail ringed black and white, black ear backs, lips, nose and distinctive “tear stains”. Cheetahs are specialised predators on the fleetest of plains antelopes.
