Cheetah, also known as Acinonyx Jubatus, is an animal which is mostly found in Southern Africa, as well as a few parts in Iran. Being carnivores, they are predators to many animals, such as gazelles, wildebeests, rabbits, birds, impalas, and other small animals. Cheetah’s can drink water once every three or four days, since there is less water where they live. Cheetah’s are important to the ecosystem, since they keep check of the animals they hunt.
