History

The cheetah inhabits predominantly arid habitats such as forests, scrub forests, and savannahs on the African continent. Most of the 7,100 individuals believed to exist in the wild, most liv in North, Southern, and East Africa. There are limited numbers of cheetahs also found in the wild in Iran. Interestingly, cheetahs were once tamed by the Egyptians to assist in wild game hunts as early as the 16^th century BC.
