small head, round ears, slim greyhound body, more doglike than cat, the cheetah! spotted fur, long tail, always running, on the hunt for food, the cheetah! solitary cat, she alone cares for her cubs, good mother cheetah! most don't survive; most babies are killed by larger prey--save the cheetah! tearlines on its face, seeming to cry at its lot: endangered cheetah!
