  • 1. It dosent have perminently extended claws! Its more complicated. The cheetahs claws retract, but they dont have any sheet of skin covering them. So they are semi-retractable

    2. Its not the ONLY cat that has such claws. There are 3 other cat spiecies! Flat headed cat, fishing cat Iriomote Cat

  • Awsome cat! Beautiful and unique

  • does anyone know how strong it's "arms" are compared to an average man?

  • Watching a cheetah hunt a gazelle is much more suspenseful than watching football, or any other human games for that matter.

  • @imnotabear just hope you're not its prey then

  • Go cheetah GO!!!!

  • Damn nature! You scary!

  • @tehbot what does "dexterity" mean? im not that good at understanding new words XD

  • that gazelle is one hell of a runner and dribbler-

  • Love Cheetah's truly an amazing animal ... so much grace and dexterity.
