Fast Cats
1What is the fastest animal on land? It is the cheetah!
2A cheetah is a wild cat with long legs and a long tail. Its fur is golden with black spots. Two dark lines run from its eyes down to its mouth.
3A cheetah can run very fast, but only for a short time. Then it must stop and rest.
4Its long tail helps it turn quickly when it runs. A cheetah cannot roar like a lion. It purrs and chirps like a bird!
