What are the cheetas special adaptations?

Speed:

* Long, slender legs with powerful muscles enable cheetahs to reach speeds of up to 120 km/h (74 mph) in just a few seconds.

* Large paws act like shock absorbers and provide increased traction during high-speed chases.

Retractable claws:

* Semi-retractable claws help cheetahs grip the ground firmly and increase acceleration and maneuverability.

Long tail:

* The long, muscular tail serves as a balancing mechanism, providing stability during high-speed chases and sharp turns.

Large nostrils and lungs:

* Enlarged nostrils and lungs allow cheetahs to take in more oxygen, increasing their endurance during short but intense sprints.

Flexible spine:

* The flexible spine allows cheetahs to stretch and extend their body, reducing stride length and increasing stride frequency.

Black "tear" marks:

* Prominent black "tear" marks from the inner corner of the eyes to the mouth might reduce glare and enhance vision during chases.

Spotted coat:

* The spotted coat provides camouflage in their natural grasslands and savannah habitats.

Keen eyesight:

* Cheetahs have excellent eyesight, enabling them to spot prey and potential predators from a distance.
