& cuLTuRE NoTE
Cheetahs live in eastern and southern Africa. There is also 2
smal population in northeastern ran This photo was taken
in South Ata
They eat small to mid-size animals, such as gazlles and
impala. Cheetahs don’t consider humans as prey (animals to
be hunted and caught for food). They generally avoid people
ifthey can, and aren't dangerous in the way that lions, tigers
and leopards ate, Ofcourse, fyou annoy them (or example,
by going near their cubs), they will probably hurtyou in sel
defence,
Cheetahs are an endangered species. There were over
100,000 cheetahs inthe last century, but only around 11,000
today. There are two main reasons for this ther habitat has
become smaller because of human activity (e.g farming) and
they are sometimes hunted and killed for their fur.
