Rescue |

| Hey...Did You Know? |
 According to National Geographic,
cheetahs could be extinct in 15 years. As the world's fastest
land animal, a cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in
only three seconds. With keen eyesight, cheetahs are daylight
hunters, and hunt antelope and hares. Most wild cheetahs live
in eastern and southwestern Africa. |
