The female's home range's size can depend on the prey base. Cheetahs in southern African woodlands have ranges as small as 34 km 2 (13 sq mi), while in some parts of Namibia, they can reach 1,500 km 2 (580 sq mi). Female cheetahs can reproduce at 13 to 16 months of age and with a typical age of sexual maturity between 20 and 23 months. [40]
Cheetahs can overtake a running antelope with a 140 m (150 yd) head start. Both animals were clocked at 80 km/h (50 mph) by speedometer reading while running alongside a vehicle at full speed. [106] Cheetahs can easily capture gazelles galloping at full speed (70–80 km/h (43–50 mph)). [63] The physiological reasons for speed in cheetahs are:

Cheetahs are known to be tamed, trained and to hunt herbivorous animals. Once existing in Egypt, the Ancient Egyptians often kept the cheetahs and raised them as pets, and also tamed and trained them for hunting mammals. Tamed cheetahs were taken to open hunting fields in low-sided carts or by horseback, hooded and blindfolded, and kept on leashes.
Giant East African snail. There are large gaps in human knowledge about African invertebrates. East Africa has a rich coral fauna [12] with about 400 known species. More than 400 species of Echinoderms and 500 species of Bryozoa live there too, [13] as well as one Cubozoan species (Carybdea alata).

The earliest African cheetah fossils from the early Pleistocene have been found in the lower beds of the Olduvai Gorge site in northern Tanzania. [7]Not much was known about the East African cheetah's evolutionary story, although at first, the East and Southern African cheetahs were thought to be identical as the genetic distance between the two subspecies is low.
