  2. Cheetah - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheetah

    [94] [95] Cheetahs can increase up 3 m/s (10.8 km/h) and decrease up 4 m/s (14.4 km/h) in a single stride. [96] Speed and acceleration values for a hunting cheetah may be different from those for a non-hunter because while engaged in the chase, the cheetah is more likely to be twisting and turning and may be running through vegetation.

  3. Northwest African cheetah - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_African_cheetah

    Two camera trapping surveys in the Ahaggar massif revealed that cheetahs in this area exhibit several behavioral adaptations to this harsh climate: they are predominantly nocturnal and active between sunset and early mornings; they travel larger distances and occur at a lower density than cheetahs living in savannas. [10]

  4. Cursorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursorial

    An animal can be considered cursorial if it has the ability to run fast (e.g. cheetah) or if it can keep a constant speed for a long distance (high endurance). "Cursorial" is often used to categorize a certain locomotor mode, which is helpful for biologists who examine behaviors of different animals and the way they move in their environment.

  5. Southeast African cheetah - Wikipedia

    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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_cheetah

    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. [13]

  7. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    Documentary film, shot at 1200 fps, used to study the locomotion of a cheetah. The end of the video shows the methods used for filming. A variety of methods and equipment are used to study animal locomotion: Treadmills are used to allow animals to walk or run while remaining stationary or confined with respect to external observers.

    A cheetah exhibiting pursuit predation. Pursuit predation is a form of predation in which predators actively give chase to their prey, either solitarily or as a group.It is an alternate predation strategy to ambush predation — pursuit predators rely on superior speed, endurance and/or teamwork to seize the prey, while ambush predators use concealment, luring, exploiting of surroundings and ...
