Cheetah Anatomy Study

The cheetah, what an animal, what a speed demon, what a strange cat really. In this journal I want to come with around the cheetah anatomy, the differences between the big cats compared to the cheetah and how similar this cat is to dogs. The cheetah does look like a ordinary cat, with the tail and ears, but looking closer there are a few things making the cheetah to a quite odd member of the feline family. The cheetah is categorized to be a small cat and not a big one, even though it’s larger than the clouded leopard that’s for some reason is categorized as a big cat. The cheetah is known to be the fastest animal alive on the earth and can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h on just 3 seconds. Cheetahs measure about 2.1 meter in length including the 60-80 cm long tail. They weigh about 35-60 kg. Body So here I have made a little comparison with some wild cats, to give a sense that every cat differs due to their abilities. Top left to right: Cheetah and leopard.
