Description
Photo taken in March, 2014 @ Koninklijke Burgers' Zoo, The Netherlands
I had saves some photos from my trip to this zoo, because Cheetahs don't seem to be all that common zoos. And well, who can say no to a few more cubs?
4th of December is all about Cheetahs and their continued survival as their status is still not up to scratch and they're endangered felines. This day is meant to bring awareness to these wonderful creatures
Species: Cheetah (Jachtluipaard)
Latin name: Acinonyx Jubatus
Originates from Africa and the Middle East.
Current status: Vulnerable
Did you know:
…The Cheetah can clock in to 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph), making it the fasted land animal on the planet, covering 500 meters (1,600 ft) in short burst, and being able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.
…It is one of the few Felids with semi-retractable claws.
