The cheetah has unusually low genetic variability. This is accompanied by a very low sperm count, motility, and deformed flagella. Skin grafts between unrelated cheetahs illustrate the former point, in that there is no rejection of the donor skin. It is thought that the species went through a prolonged period of inbreedingfollowing a genetic bottleneck during the last ice age. This suggests that genetic monomorphism did not prevent the cheetah from flourishing across two continents for thousands of years. More...

Run For The Heart

Cheetahs are an amazing animal. They are the fastest land animal. They face several issues that could endander their survival. One is the limited DNA they have genetically. Without a large pool of DNA to draw on they are very vulnerable. The cheetah is a large feline inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. The cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 70 to 75 mph in short bursts covering distances up to1,600 ft and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in three seconds.
