猎豹, or the cheetah, is a large feline known for its incredible speed and agility. It is the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds up to 75 miles per hour (120 kilometers per hour) in short bursts covering distances up to 1,500 feet (460 meters). Cheetahs are characterized by their slender bodies, long legs, and distinctive black tear marks on their faces, which help reduce glare from the sun. These animals primarily inhabit grasslands and open savannas in parts of Africa and Iran. Cheetahs are solitary creatures, often hunting alone or in small family groups. Their diet mainly consists of small to medium-sized ungulates, such as gazelles and impalas. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their dwindling populations due to habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.
