Miracinonyx (colloquially known as the "American cheetah") is an extinct genus of felids belonging to the subfamily Felinae that was endemic to North America from the Pleistocene epoch (about 2.5 million to 16,000 years ago) and morphologically similar to the modern cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), although its apparent similar ecological niches have been considered questionable due to anatomical ...
According to a new report, cheetahs have been driven out of 91 percent of their historical habitat. Only about 7,000 of the cats are left in the wild. One animal is dangerously close to becoming ...
[48] [49] In the subsequent weeks, further cheetahs were released into the wild and the released animals were tracked by radio collars. [50] [51] Later in the month, a female died due to kidney complications. [52] On April 24, another cheetah death was reported due to heart failure.

A plan to reintroduce once-extinct cheetahs to Madhya Pradesh in India has struggled after many of the animals died. India Tried to Re-introduce Cheetahs to the Wild. It Didn't Go Well
Increasing numbers of animal and plant species are becoming rare, or even extinct in the wild. In an attempt to re-establish populations, species can – in some instances – be re-introduced into an area, either through translocation from existing wild populations, or by re-introducing captive-bred animals or artificially propagated plants.

Restoration. Like the modern cheetah, Acinonyx pardinensis is generally thought to have been adapted to running down prey. It probably took larger prey than living cheetahs, with estimated prey masses of 50–100 kilograms (110–220 lb), [2] though the idea that its ecology was similar to a modern cheetah has been contested by some authors, who suggest an ecology more similar to pantherine ...
