Cheetahs: Fastest land animals’ physical characteristics, diet, habitat, and more

Cheetahs, the fastest land animals, reaching speeds up to 75 mph, are primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa and northeastern Iran. These agile carnivores prey on medium-sized animals using their stealth and speed. With distinctive tan coats and black spots, they are classified as ‘vulnerable’ due to habitat loss. Female cheetahs exhibit extraordinary care for their cubs.
