5 paragraph Essay on an Animal
Speeding
towards a helpless antelope, the cheetah pounces, a pounce to kill. The cheetah
is very unique compared to its fellow big cats. Cheetahs are my favourite
animal and always will be. Cheetahs are an impressive animal because of the
speed that they can travel at, how they only live in one gigantic habitat, and
also the wide variety of animals that they hunt for food.
First off,
cheetahs are well known for their speed. They can run up to one hundred and
thirteen kilometres per hour, but they can only hold that speed for two to
three minutes. Now that is impressive. If you were to drive alongside a cheetah
at motorway speed it could keep up for a bit. That’s pretty fast! Cheetahs can
run so fast, it’s crazy!
The
cheetah’s habitat is centred around the middle of South Africa. It is the only
place in the world that cheetahs live in. They are surrounded by lions,
antelopes, giraffes and even a few Meer cats. All of whom live in the
grasslands of central South Africa. It’s amazing how cheetahs only live in on
habitat, The grasslands of south Africa.
The
cheetah’s food supply is quite scarce; therefore they have a wide variety of
food on their diet, though thy still prefer because antelopes are fast and
cheetahs like a challenging chase. Unlike most big cats the cheetah hunts
during the day. They have black lines leading from their eyes down to their
jaw. This is said to help them see prey three or four kilometres away. The
large amount of food on their diet helps them survive with the low mount of
prey nearby to hunt.
So
basically, to sum it up cheetahs are pretty cool. With the speed they travel
at, the distance they can see, heir one amazing habitat, and the amount of
different food they hunt, they are the ultimate animal. Cheetahs are epic, and
hopefully you think that to.
