Lions, Leopards and Cheetah's can be differentiated from their companions by counting the number of whiskers each one has and the pattern in which they are arranged.
When running, a Cheetah uses its tail to valance its body while turning corners sharply at very fast speeds. It swings its tail about in a "wind mill" like motion depending on the direction the animal is taking.
Unlike Lions and Leopards, Cheetah's cannot retract their claws. This gives them a very good traction while running.
A Cheetah will pursue its prey for no more than 400 - 600 meters and can reach up to speeds of 112 kilometers per hour.
A Cheetah can give birth to a litter of up to 8 cubs, but very few survive due to predation from other predators like Lions and Hyenas.
A cheetah's cub has a mantle of long white hair along its neck and back which disappears when they are approximately 3 months old.
The Cheetah is the weakest of the predators, with weak jaws and no long or powerful canines. Their body structure is not muscular and are adapted to sprinting rather than using power to hunt.
