 Cheetahs do not roar like lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and growl. They also make a variety of contact calls; the most common is a birdlike chirping sound. Once a cheetah has made a kill, it eats quickly and keeps an eye out for scavengers lions; leopards, hyenas, vultures and jackals will occasionally take away their kills. Although cheetahs usually afeica prey on the smaller antelopes safari such as Thomson''s gazelles and impalas, they can catch wildebeests and zebras if hunting afeica together. They also hunt hares and other safari small mammals and birds. Although known as an animal of the afeica open plains that relies on speed to catch its prey, research has shown that the cheetah depends on cover safari to stalk prey. The cheetah gets as close to the prey as possible, then afeica in a burst of speed tries to outrun its quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks the prey to the ground with its paw. The safari cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on afeica a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special safari pads on its feet for traction and a long, tail for balance. afeica Although fast, the safari cheetah afeica cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about the limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs safari and afeica have distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for safari daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. afeica Cheetah mothers spend a long time teaching their young safari how to hunt small live antelopes are brought back to the cubs and released afeica so they can chase and safari catch them. Unlike most other cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, preferring early morning or early evening, but is also active on moonlit nights.
