Cheetahs are some of the most majestic and swift predators on the planet. They can reach up to 110 km hour when they sprint and have special adaptations that help them do so like a flexible spine and long legs. Their spotted coats act as camouflage when they are hunting antelope, small rodents, and other animals. However, cheetahs' numbers are declining in the wild due to habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and keep their population numbers stable.
