Fastest Animals Of Land Are Rapidly Heading Towards Extinction According To New Study
Cheetahs are beautiful, naturally shy and non-confrontational animals. These cats are born to run, that’s why they are the fastest land mammals. Cheetahs are found primarily in the eastern and southern ranges of Africa south of the Sahara Desert, with small populations in North Africa and Iran.
But these amazing animals are in trouble because they range far beyond protected areas and are coming increasingly into conflict with humans. 77% of their habitat falls outside protected areas, they roam across lands as they are one of the widest-ranging animals.
Cheetahs are rapidly heading towards extinction according to the report published in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
