Where they live and that they eatCheetahs live in Africa, and also in India and Central Asia.They prefer open spaces: savannas, semi-deserts.

They hunt for medium-sized hoofed animals: gazelles, impalas, calves of a gnu — and also for hares.

Three cheetahs can overcome an ostrich.

Rescue them from extinction!Here are the main reasons why these unique predators are on the verge of extinction:

1. Hunting for skins of animals.

2. Lack of food in their habitat.

3. Breeding problems.

The number of cheetahs fell from 100 000 individuals to 13 000.

To keep animals, in some regions of Africa special parks were created. On their territory it is necessary to observe some rules: not to rustle, not to throw out garbage, not to move down from roads and not to come to animals closer than the certain distance.

About bird

• is an extinct North American bird. The species lived in enormous migratory flocks until the early 20th century, when hunting and habitat destruction led to its demise. One flock in 1866 in southern Ontario was described as being 1 mi (1.5 km) wide and 300 mi (500 km) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds. That number, if accurate, would likely represent a large fraction of the entire population at the time

The average weight: 340–400 g

Length: 42 - 38 cm

Colour:a bluish- gray head and rump, slate- gray back, and a wine- red breast

The wings:Long and broad

The tail:20- 38 cm long
