Cheetahs: The Fastest Runners on the Planet
by Aloniab Gezae, age 7
Cheetahs are well known because they’re really fast. Cheetahs can even run up to 60 to 70 miles per hour.
Cheetahs live in parts of Africa and the Middle East. They live and hunt for food in grasslands and bushes. Cheetahs have great vision to hunt prey like gazelles, wildebeests, hares, and impalas. Although the prey can be fast, Cheetahs are faster.
While Cheetahs are very interesting and fast creatures, they aren’t always appreciated by people. Today, Cheetahs are at risk for extinction and are struggling through habitat loss, these are some issues that humans have caused. It is important to learn about these animals and promote practices that help them survive for the future.
