I-Cheetah iyaziwa ngokukhawuleza ngejubane layo elincinci, eliye lazuza igama labo njengezilwanyana ezikhawulezayo emhlabeni. Ukubona enye ngelixa i -safari lilungelo lokwenene, njengokuba ezi zibizi zintlobo ziphakathi kwezona zintle (kunye nezona zininzi kakhulu) kuzo zonke izilwanyana zaseAfrika.
I-Speed-Breaking Speed
Njengemitha yezemidlalo yeedolado, zonke izinto malunga ne-cheetah zakhiwe ngesantya, ukusuka kwiimpawu ezincinci, ezixubileyo ekunyuseni amandla amaphaphu.
Izilungiso ezifana nalezi zivumela i-cheetah ukuba ihambe ukusuka kwi-0 - 60 mph / 0 - 100 km ngaphantsi kwemizuzwana emithathu-isivinini sokukhawuleza esibhekiselele kwiimoto zokuvelisa ngokukhawuleza ezenziwe yiPorsche, Ferrari kunye ne-Lamborghini.
Xa i-cheetah igijima, umda wabo ude kakhulu kwaye ngokukhawuleza ukuba unyawo olunye luchukumisa umhlaba nanini na ixesha. Imilenze yemilenze ye-cheetah inemizimba eyenzelwe ukuvelisa ijubane, kanti ezo zibophelo zayo zilungele ukuhamba kunye nokulinganisela. Ngenxa yoko, onke amandla e-cheetah avela ngasemva.
Inzima Yokusinda
Nangona kunjalo, ukukhawuleza kunokuba nayiphi na isilwanyana kwi-savannah akuqinisekisi ukuba yimpumelelo yokuzingela i-cheetah. Nangona banokufikelela kwisantya se-75 mph / 120 kmph, abanako ukugcina isantya esinjalo. Ngokuqhelekileyo, izilwanyana ezilwanyana ezibandakanya i-springbok kunye ne-steenbok zihlala ziphela ngokuchasana nabachasi babo.
Ukuzingela i-Cheetah ngethuba lemizamo yokuphepha ukhuphiswano olusuka kubusuku busika njengengonyama nengwe.
Nangona kunjalo, ubukhulu babo buncinci kunye nobunzima obungathandekiyo kwenza kube nzima kubo ukukhusela babo ukubulala, kwaye bahlala belahlekelwa ukutya kwabo kwezinye iikati okanye abaxhamli abanomdla. Iingqungquthela ezininzi zizizingeli zodwa, kwaye kungcono ukunqanda ukulwa nomngcipheko.
Isimo sabo sobodwa sithetha ukuba i-cheetah yezilwanyana kufuneka ihambe iibhokhwe zazo zingakhuselekanga ngelixa zizingela.
Oku kubangelwa ukuba bahlale besengozini kwixesha elidlulileyo, kwaye nje kuphela i-10% yeebhokhwe ze-cheetah yenza ukuba ibe ngumdala. Abo baqhubekayo baphila banomdla wokuphila ubomi obuphakathi kweminyaka engama-12, nangona oko kudla ngokunciphisa kakhulu kwintlango.
Isidingo Sokongiwa
Ubunzima obujongene nobunzima bezilwanyana zasendle bunyusa ngokunyanzeliswa ngabantu. Ukukhula kwabantu kunye nokusabalala kwezolimo kulo lonke iAfrika kuye kwaphumela ekunciphiseni intsimi yeengqungquthela zasendle, kunye nokunciphisa ukuxhaphaka. Okubi nakakhulu, abanye abalimi bajolise ngqo ekukholweni ukuba babeka ingozi kwimfuyo.
Isikhumba esihle se-cheetah senza ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu kubazingeli. Ngo-2015, inani elilinganiselwayo labahlali be-cheetah libalwe ngabantu abayi-6 700 kuphela.

Amaqela enhlalakahle e-AfriCat aseNamibia, iinkalo eziphambili zokulondolozwa kwe-cheetah ziquka imfundo, i-patro-poaching patrol kunye nokufuduswa kweefama ezivela kwimimandla yasemaphandleni ukuya kwiindawo zokuhlala kunye neepaki. Ukuqinisekisa ukuba uluntu lwasekuhlaleni luzuza kwizokhenketho ezinxulumene nenkathalo yindlela enye yokuphepha yokugcina ikusasa labo e-Afrika.

I-subspecies yaseSahara ibeka engozini ngokugqithiseleyo kwaye i-sightings ayifumanekanga; Nangona kunjalo, abantu bayaphila empuma nasempuma Afrika.
INamibia ine-density ye-wild cheetah; Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwaba bahlala kwimihlaba yangasese. Ngako oko, indlela elula yokubona iikati zezithonjana zelizwe ziza kutyelela enye yeeprojekthi ezilondolozo ze-cheetah.

Amaziko afana nalawa avumela ukuhlangana okufutshane kwaye kubaluleke kakhulu ekufundiseni uluntu lwasekuhlaleni ngokulondolozwa kwe-cheetah. Iiprogram zokuzalisa nazo zinceda ukugcina abantu abazinzile.
Nangona kunjalo, akukho nto ifana nokubona i-cheetah yasendle kwi-safari. Iindawo ezifanelekileyo zokukwenza oku ziquka iTanzania National Park , okanye iMasai Mara National Reserve eKenya.
