Facts About Cheetahs

Facts About Cheetahs

Cheetahs, the fastest Land Animal (short distances speeds of up to 70 miles an hour in the shortest time) can often be found in Kidepo Valley Park.
When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat.
Cheetahs are the only big cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting
Cheetahs prefer the open grasslands, savannas, even hills, and mountains – all terrain found in Kidepo Valley National Park.  The openness of the park with its grasslands fits the Cheetahs lifestyle and manner in which they hunt, where they run instead of stalking and pouncing like other cats.  
A mature Cheetah weights from 85 to 145  pounds – similar to the leopard.  They  reach a height of over 30 inches and it is the height that sets them apart from other cats.

When it comes to reproduction, the Cheetah is the most productive cat, few of the cubs survive predators,illnesses that come from the lack genetic diversity – it is said that about 20% of the cubs survive and grow into adulthood.
Females, mothers are  solitary animals, while males will partner with two or three other males and go on the hunt and there are lots of animals to hunt at Kidepo Valley National Park, the best place in Uganda to see Cheetahs in the wild.
