The Cheetah, the Fastest Animal!

the fastest mammal on earth
Will the cheetah, the fastest cat on earth, be able to escape extinction?
In the last 18 years the number of this species has decreased by 30%, today there are just over 6,600,000 specimens that survive in Africa and some in Iran.
the two subspecies of Iran and North West Africa have been classified as "Critically Endangered" on the IUCN red list.
The threats
The two main major threats to this feline are poaching and illegal trade. For years this beautiful feline has been persecuted for its skin or for being exhibited as a trophy.
The second major threat is the expansion of human settlements and cultivated lands, which cause a decrease in the number of prey for the feline. The insufficient number of prey often pushes the cheetah to hunt the farm animals of the local populations, thus entering into conflict with them.
Finally, other factors that threaten the existence of the sonho cheetah: the crossing between consanguineous specimens, which causes a genetic weakening of the species, and the competition with other predators, such as lions and hyenas, which kill the cubs and hunt their own. prey.
