Cheetah

Acinonyx jubatus

Description:

These two were sharing body heat on a chilly day. They made a heart :-)

Habitat:

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. In the wild, the cheetah thrives in areas with vast expanses of land where prey is abundant. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semidesert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats. In Namibia, for example, it lives in grasslands, savannahs, areas of dense vegetation, and mountainous terrain.
