Cheetahs live in a wide range of habitats and tend to show more adaptability to different habitats than other big cats. Cheetahs are mainly crepuscular, that is, they are active mainly during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk. However, in the heat of midday, they rest in the shade of trees or bushes, or in burrows or rocky shelters especially when located close to water.

Cheetahs are known for their speed they can run up to 70 mph. Their fast speed gives them the advantage, allowing them to find food quickly and escape predators. Cheetahs are at the top of the food chain because of their speed and sharp claws, teeth, and ears.

Cheetahs are nearly always on the move. They sleep for a few hours in the afternoon but otherwise never nap for longer than a few minutes at a time. Their bodies need to be constantly moving in order to stay warm and hunt prey.
Cheetahs sometimes eat while they are hunting, but mostly they prefer to drag their kill to a quiet spot where they can enjoy it in peace before moving on again. The cheetah is not a scavenger though so don’t expect to find one snacking on scraps. Cheetahs do like to drink water occasionally but this does not have to be done very often. They get the majority of their water from the prey that they eat.
