Ghe cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus; /ˈtʃiːtə/) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs

in North, Southern and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. It inhabits a variety of


mostly arid habitats like dry forests, scrub forests, and savannahs. The species is IUCN Red
Listed as Vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century
due to habitat loss, poaching for the illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. By 2016, the
global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild.
Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures.
The cheetah was formally described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775 and is the
only extant member of the genus Acinonyx. Its yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white coat is
uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots. Its body is slender with a small rounded
head, black tear-like streaks on the face, deep chest, long thin legs and long spotted tail. It
reaches 70–90 cm (28–35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb).
The cheetah breeds throughout the year, and is an induced ovulator. Gestation lasts nearly three
months, resulting in a litter of typically three to five, in rare cases up to eight cubs. They are
weaned at the age of about six months. After siblings become independent from their mother,
they usually st
