* Black Spots: The most prominent feature is a pattern of solid black spots covering their entire body, except for their belly and the underside of their tail.
* Teardrop-Shaped Markings: On their face, they have black teardrop-shaped markings that run from the corner of the eye down to the mouth.
* Stripes: On their head and legs, the spots sometimes merge to form stripes.
* Tail Ring: Their tail has a distinctive pattern of black rings that end with a solid black tip.
These patterns are unique to each cheetah, like a fingerprint, and help them camouflage in tall grass and brush.
