Cheetah

Few animals on Earth can match the cheetah's speed, making it the swiftest land creature alive today. This graceful, clever cat is also a species whose future is uncertain, yet it still survives in the wild.

Part of the Incredible Planet series, this book introduces young readers to some of the planet's most remarkable animals. It covers where cheetahs live, what they eat, how they raise their young, how long they typically live, how they behave, and the dangers they face. Vivid full-color photographs bring each part of the cheetah's life to the page, and the text draws on careful research.
