Cheetahs

        Cheetahs are cats. At up to 70 miles per hour, cheetahs are the fastest animals on land. Cheetahs are carnivores which means they eat meat. Cheetahs first appeared on earth over four million years ago, but cheetahs are now only found in Africa and the Middle East.
Diet
      You might think well, ok, since cheetahs are the fastest animals on land, nothing can outrun a cheetah. Well, actually, prey sometimes can. Cheetahs eat gazelles, a type of deer. Gazelles can't run as fast as a cheetah but it can run longer in duration than a cheetah. Cheetahs can only run for short distances. They crouch and sneak up on their prey and then pounce like a cat and take off, chasing the prey.
Structure
     Cheetah's skinny  body is made for its running ability. Cheetahs have a long slim tail to turn and balance while running. Cheetahs have claws that can go out when they need to grip the ground and go in when they have to not need to grip. They are not like normal feline cats. Normal cats claws are always out. Cheetahs have black eye marking running down their face. This helps block the glare of the sun so cheetahs can see.
