Cheetah Facts

Spot the difference

Adult cheetahs are easily distinguished from other big cats by their solid black spots.

Built for speed

The cheetahs’ unique body structures allow them to achieve incredible speeds of up to 70 mph (113 km/hr).

A natural rudder

When running, cheetahs use their tails to steer and change direction, like a rudder on a boat.

About Cheetahs

Shrinking habitat

In the last 100 years, the world has lost 90% of the wild cheetah population. Today, one-third of wild cheetahs live in southern Africa. CCF is working across Africa to save the species throughout its range.
