= = =**Cheetah** =

=**Introduction** = =**A cheetah is a endangered mammal. The cheetah has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100km/hr in three seconds since it is the fastest animal in the world. Cheetah's normally live in areas such as places where prey is abundant and has a lot of space. Female cheetah's mostly and male cheetah's tend to avoid each other. Female lives alone most of the times unless they are raising a cub.** =

=**Description** = =**A cheetah is a large-sized feline inhabiting Africa and parts of middle east. Cheetah's are the only extant member of the genus a Acinonyx. The name "Cheetah" comes from a Hindi word meaning "Spotted one" or from the Sanskrit word "Chitraka". An adult has yellow and tanned fur with solid black round or oval spots measuring 1.9 to 3.8cm in diameter. The spots cover nearly the entire body but only the throat area is white and abdomen are unmarked. The tails end with 4-6 black rings and a bushy white tuff. The head is small with eyes set high and black "Tear mark" running from the inner aspect of each eye down to the mouth. An regular cheetah weighs about 80kg-140kg, is about 81cm tall at another 70-81cm in tail.** = = = =**Habitat** = =**The cheetah thrives in areas where prey is abundant. Cheetah's likes to live in and open biotope such as semidesert prairie and thick bush. Not so long ago, cheetah's inhabited an area from North Africa to India but they are now commonly found only in sub-saharan Africa. Cheetah's needs an area with bushes, tall grass and other large plants in order to hide from predators.** = = = =**Behaviour** = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Unlike males, females are so litany and tend to avoid each other. Generally 2 or 3 male cheetah's often brothers will form a coalition that group will live and hunt together for life and usually claim a large are which may overlap female territories. Cheetah's are also found in Southern and Eastern Africa with Namibia having the largest population of about 2500. Their range is confined to narrowing islands of Savanna and similar vegetation zones south of Sahara. A relic population of a few hundred may exist in the northern Arabian Peninsula and Northwest Afghanistan.** = <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">

It was extreme, intense and awesome. It was a beautiful day when I stopped by to see how tall the Abseiling tower was. I thought it was about 100 times taller than me which gave me little butterflies in my guts and a little fright. First, I thought I could do it in one go but I realised when I climbed up to the top to go down, I was petrified! I climbed up the stairs to the top of the Abseiling tower and sat there until it was my turn. The tower was swaying with the wind and I thought that the tower was going to collapse! //

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">//I was scared perhaps because of by how many people stopped half way at doing it experiencing fear then going back up to the start again. So there was I, the puny me like I was forced to stand on the plank, ready to get shot by a gun though I was on the tower getting prepared to go down the insanely scary Abseiling wall. I looked down and saw my legs. They were frozen to the floor when my heart started to pound like it wanted burst into an explosion!//

<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">//<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #2788dd; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Suddenly I started to move as the wind pushed me like they were shoving me trying to make me suicide instantly. As I went down little by little I felt this pain inside me. I felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife on the back. I hesitated as I was feeling the pain. Soon I felt like I was dying. People at the bottom looked like little ants cheering me on. I went down step by step and the pain kept getting harder and harder. I almost cried closing my eyes. The cheering got louder as I went down further and further. I opened my teared eyes and saw that I was 5 metres away from the bottom. I was impressed, exhausted and proud! I wiped my tears and started to laugh. //

<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">//<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I took my first step touching earth again walking happily which was pretty cool. My friend Jenny laughed at me how I reacted up there walking down the Abseiling tower. It was so awesome though I was proud I did it. I conquered my fears and had loads of fun! Then it was my friend Jenny’s turn, she was scared also like me when I did it. She couldn’t do it because when she climbed up the stairs to the top of the tower she screamed out she couldn’t take it. So my friend tried the shorter one of the abseiling activity but she still did not do it. I laughed at her even more for a friendly pay back. //

I would never forget that moment of happiness and fun! //
