Smaller than the jaguar, pumas are also found
in North and South America and go by many names
such as cougar or mountain lion. Pumas mostly eat
other large animals. Humans kill them because they
sometimes eat pets or farm animals. Many of them
are in danger of going extinct.
Cheetahs live in Africa and are famous for being
very fast. The cheetah is the fastest land animal and it
can run up to 110 kilometers per hour. Running like a
cheetah is like driving on a highway. Their bodies are
long and sleek to help them run and they swing their
tails to keep balance while they race through African
savannahs catching prey.
