Cheetahs

These amazing cats are found in sub-Saharan Africa
open grassy savannah plains are they roam freely
pale yellow coats with black spots through to their skin
white underbelly that gives them camouflage, thats so easy

cheetahs are known as the fastest animal in the world
their bodies have evolved to make them speed sprinters 
with long legs, elongated spine and enlarged heart and lungs
adapted claws that work as runner`s spikes, they`re winners

fierce felines that hunt by day to avoid other large predators
feeding off warthogs, springbok and gazelles, they`re effective
social cats found in groups but remain solitary when on the hunt 
at one with their surroundings, hunter and prey are connected

sadly these magnificent felines are critically in danger
we need to change our attitude toward this elegant creature
the loss of their territories and continued hunting
we all need to live on the planet together, man and nature!
