Spots and Stripes in the Tall Grass

A cheetah sits up tall, its back straight and slender legs folded neatly beneath its spotted body. Round black spots spill across its smooth fur, running from its tufted tail up to its curious round head. The cheetah’s alert eyes peek out, looking for a fluttering bird or wiggly bug nearby.

Its long, swishy tail curls against the ground, marked with bold stripes that make it look like a striped sock. Even the cheetah’s ears poke up, turned to catch every little sound. Each paw is drawn with just a little curve, ready to stretch out for a quick dash if something exciting happens.

Fun Fact!

Because cheetahs are lightly built for speed, they often lose their kills to stronger predators like lions or hyenas if they don't eat quickly.
