Cheetahs can grow between 46 to 160 pounds with tan/brown fur covered in black spots. They live in Africa and parts of Asia, migrating to follow prey like gazelles. As carnivores, cheetahs hunt gazelles, rabbits, birds and antelope for food. They protect themselves by ignoring other predators and give birth to litters of 3 to 5 cubs. While not currently endangered, cheetahs are vulnerable and at risk of becoming endangered.
