The #cheetah is the world's fastest land animal and the most unique and specialized member of the cat family. It can reach speeds of 70 mph. Unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body, longer legs, and has been referred to as the “greyhound” of the cats. The cheetah is often mistaken for a leopard. Its distinguishing marks are the long tear-drop shaped lines on each side of the nose from the corner of its eyes to its mouth. The cheetah’s coat is tan, or buff colour, with black spots measuring from ¾ to 1 ¼ inches across. There are no spots on its white belly, and the tail has spots which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. In Uganda cheetahs are traditionally only present in the vicinity of #kidepovalleynationalpark though several sightings in the north of #murchinsonfalls suggest they may yet re-colonize the park. #visituganda #TravelwithHulloSafaris #wildlifephotography 🌐www.hullosafaris.com 📩[email protected] https://www.instagram.com/p/CEioSltHtEj/?igshid=1i8h6vti4lcsl
