- Unable to roar: Unlike other big cats, cheetahs do not have the ability to roar. Instead, they communicate through a variety of sounds, such as purring, hissing and squeaking.
- Specialized claws: Cheetahs have slightly hooked claws that are not completely retractable. This helps them maintain their grip while running.
- Unique marking: Each cheetah has a unique pattern of spots on its body, similar to human fingerprints. These spots help cheetahs with camouflage.
- Daytime hunting: Unlike many other predators, cheetahs hunt mainly during the day, taking advantage of their excellent visual acuity.
- Low genetic diversity: Cheetahs have low genetic diversity, which makes them more susceptible to disease and hinders their ability to adapt to environmental changes.
- Thermoregulation: Cheetahs cannot maintain their high speed for a long time because they overheat quickly. They need to rest and cool down after each fast run.
- Diet: Cheetahs mainly hunt smaller mammals such as gazelles and young antelope. They rarely hunt large prey.
- They are not good climbers: Unlike other big cats, cheetahs are not very good at climbing, but they are excellent swimmers.
