#Repost @wildkrattstv β’ β’ β’ β’ β’ π ZOOM! π Today we are learning more about a super speedy creature! The cheetah! Did you know that cheetah cubs have extra fur on their heads and backs called a mantle? The fluffy, silver-gray mane helps blend them into tall grasses and dry mounds, increasing their chances of survival from predation. However, if the cubs are discovered, a mother cheetah can go to extremes to save her young by chasing the threat away, acting as a decoy, or doing whatever else she can to avert their attention long enough for her little cubs to escape to safety. Her bravery and commitment to her cubs know no bounds, as she will go face-to-face with some of Africaβs most fierce land predators, like the leopard or hyena, and even the fierce lion, an animal more than double her size! #wildkratts #pbskids #creatureadventuring #cheetah (at Florence, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJz3b3Ynube/?igshid=1ptwfokh9s683
