Today our teacher made us do a K-W-L chart on a book of our choice,I chose ''Cheetahs'' By:Jenny Markert, and this is what I learned about cheetahs.
The Cheetah's most favorite prey are gazelles but they also hunt for hares and other small animals. They're technically cats. They can't roar like lions but they can purr like house cats and yelp like dogs. They can run up to 60 MPH ,they're also carnivorous. They don't have sharp claws to protect themselves like cats, they only have bold claws to stick in the ground so they won't slide.They carry their prey by the throat,and have three to five cubs at a time. Eagles hunt for cheetah cubs when they're alone,and some lions hunt for cheetahs too! This is what I read about cheetahs.

Jorge,
You did a good job of summarizing what you read about the cheetah.
A question for you:
Do you think a cheetah could survive in North Carolina in the wild? What do you think would cause some difficulty to the Cheetah here- that it doesn't face in Africa?

Good report on Cheetahs. I learned something new today. I never knew that cheetah purred like cats or made noises like dogs. Thanks for sharing what you have learned.

Jorge says:
I don't think a Cheetah could survive in NC because it gets really cold here in the winter. It doesn't get that cold in Africa.
Do you know of an animal that is similar to the cheetah that lives in North Carolina? How are they alike?
