Cheetahs inhabit a wide variety of habitats, including the dry, open country and grasslands where they are most often seen, as well as areas of denser vegetation and rocky upland terrain. Groups consist of a mother and her young or of coalitions made up of two or three males that are often brothers.
Cheetahs are distributed over eastern and southern Africa as well as in the Middle East. They typically inhabit grasslands and savannas but may also be found in various habitats such as mountainous areas and valleys. In order to hide from predators, these animals prefer an environment with lush vegetation such as tall grass or bushes.
It lives in a variety of habitats such as savannahs in the Serengeti, arid mountain ranges in the Sahara, and hilly desert terrain. The cheetah lives in three main social groups: females and their cubs, male "coalitions", and solitary males.
Although they typically prefer open grasslands, cheetahs live in a range of habitats across eastern and southern Africa. Once found throughout Asia and Africa, cheetahs today are racing...
Habitat & Range. Cheetahs are tolerant of a wide range of habitats including shrublands, grasslands, savannahs, and temperate to hot deserts. Cheetahs largely stay on the ground but are known to climb trees on occasion.
Although they typically prefer open grasslands, cheetahs live in a range of habitats across eastern and southern Africa. One subspecies, the critically endangered Asiatic cheetah, can...
Habitat Loss. Cheetahs require vast expanses of land with suitable prey, water, and cover sources to survive. As wild lands are destroyed and fragmented by the human expansion occurring all over the world, the cheetah’s available habitat is also destroyed.
Because they once sprawled through such vast landscapes, cheetahs have adapted to life in many habitats including grasslands, deserts, and even some mountainous regions of Africa. The IUCN Red List and experts suggest there are around 6,500 cheetahs left in the wild.
Cheetahs live mainly in grassland savanna. They prefer habitat which includes some cover in the form of bushes, medium length grass, trees, and small hills. Cheetahs need abundant prey in their habitat to survive and reproduce. In Namibia their habitat is densely bushed due to bush encroachment.
Cheetahs are currently found mainly in eastern and southern Africa, where they are confined to very small, fragmented habitats. The greatest volumes of cheetahs can be found in Zimbabwe, Angola, Zambia, Botswana, northern South Africa, Malawi, Namibia, and Mozambique.
