They can run up to 75 miles per hour and accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. But the scariest part is that they are facing extinction!

Another reason Cheetahs are going extinct is because the mama cheetah is leaving her cub to go look for food, but little does she know there are predators everywhere around the cub and next thing you know the cub is dead.]]> 2020-09-26 19:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/781650001 lanestorm https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/781654899 Scientists are researching whether or not we are able to keep them in zoos and animal centers.

Another advantage would be that they do not starve on their own in the wild, and we can just feed them ourselves.]]> 2020-09-26 19:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/781658071 lanestorm https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/781663314 One disadvantage is that if they stop becoming extinct and we put them back out on their own they won't know how to survive. They will keep getting eaten by lions and hyenas. Another disadvantage is that we can't hold every cheetah that is out there in the wild because we don't know where some of them are.]]> 2020-09-26 19:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/781663314 lanestorm https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/781668255 https://www.nationalgeographic.org/article/cheetahs-brink-extinction-again/8th-grade/

They are trying to capture as many as they can but capturing even one cheetah takes a lot of talent. Plus it takes a lot of money to capture a cheetah because of the tools you have to use. ]]> 2020-09-29 14:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/788009775 lanestorm https://padlet.com/lanestorm/y6dmejpla777v7eh/wish/802948279 Extinction-the state or process of a species, family, or larger group being or becoming extinct.
