History

The cheetah is one of the many large predatory cats in the world. One of the many factors that set it apart from others is the fact that it is the only large cat in the world that cannot roar. However, the cheetah holds the distinction as the fastest land mammal. The tear-drop shape of the dark patterns around the eyes in its fur actually helps deflect sunlight while hunting during the day.
