Cheetahs are different from other wildcats, with their small heads and long legs for sprinting. Their stare makes them look frightening but these proud predators are actually quite shy. 
    At one time, cheetahs used to live throughout Africa and as far east as India. Today, their numbers have decreased to the extent that they are mainly found in Eastern and Southern Africa,
having almost disappeared from Northern and Western Africa. The few that remain in Asia are primarily found in Iran. The declining numbers of cheetahs could be the result of the high demand for their beautiful, spotted coats. 
    Cheetahs are not as aggressive as other wildcats: they are afraid of humans and will run away from leopards and lions. In fact, they hunt during the late morning or early afternoon to avoid their enemies. 
    Cheetahs are well known for their agility and the high speed with which they can pursue their prey. However, they can only run at top speed for a few seconds because their bodies become quickly overheated.
