CHEETAH

                           


     
Cheetah  are  the   least  powerful of the big African  cats, 
        but they  are  the  world's  fastest  land  animal,  sprinting 
        at 70 miles per hour. 
        Indigenous to grasslands in eastern and  southern  Africa, 
        their numbers are estimated at around 10,000 in the wild.

       
Threats: Habitat loss and their limited gene pool.
