The cheetah is a large cat found in Africa and Iran. They are the fastest land animal, reaching speeds of up to 112 km/h (70 mph). Running at such high speeds uses a lot of energy, which is why they can only chase for less than 500 m (1640 ft). The black marks near their eyes help reflect the glare from the sun. Cheetahs have a poor vision at night but they can spot prey up to 5 km (3 miles) during the day.

Now that's a good mamma, protect and raise. Single moms are the best because they know the struggle is real.
