Physical Features of the Asiatic Cheetah

   The Asiatic Cheetah has always been one of my favorite animals, and it saddens me to know that it has become endangered. It is a very beautiful animal, and it has many different characteristics. As adults, the Asiatic Cheetah can grow up to about 44 to 53 inches in length. Their tails can also range from 26 to 33 inches, and their height can reach up to 32 inches and weigh up to 143 pounds. The Asiatic Cheetah also tends to be slender and has long legs, and their claws are semi retractable. They have short fur that is very coarse with small, black spots. They also have small heads, high-set eyes, and a "tear mark" that is black, starts at the corner of each eye, and goes all the way down to the sides of its nose and its mouth. The Asiatic Cheetah has many fascinating features!
