Abigail Garske it's International Cheetah Day!
Abigail Garske it's International Cheetah Day! Originally shared by Phoenix Zoo No time for a cat nap, it’s International Cheetah Day! Here are three fast facts about cheetahs: • Cheetahs are the fastest land animal on earth reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. • A cheetah’s color and spots act as a form of camouflage. • Cheetahs are the most endangered cat in Africa, with less than 10,000 remaining in the wild. We were very excited to welcome three 18-month-old male cheetahs to the Phoenix Zoo last month, and hope you'll come see them soon! Photo courtesy of Jim Wang. #CheetahDay #AnimalFact #PhoenixZoo
