Here's why:
* Spots: Cheetahs have a distinctive coat pattern with black spots. These spots are present at birth and help camouflage the cubs in the tall grass.
* Teeth: Cheetahs are born with their eyes closed and without teeth. This is because their mothers need to be able to move them quickly and easily. Having teeth would make this difficult and could even be dangerous for the mother. They develop their teeth over the first few weeks of life.
