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.
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.
