Only 7,100 cheetahs left in the wild.
A marvel of evolution. Cheetah’s are the fastest land animal with accelerations of 70mph that leave automobiles in the dust.
As a popular wildlife keystone predator, the cheetah is incredibly important to its habitat and savanna ecosystem. Grazers such as zebras and wildebeest will become overpopulated which leads to overgrazing of the grasslands. Overgrazing can lead to erosion that can allow shrub growth to take over once lush grasslands. Without grass cover, other important species of the savanna ecosystem can become threatened or extinct.
