Good Morning, Cheetahs
Just a little homage to one of our world's beautiful creatures.
The cheetah is considered "Threatened" (given the status of "Vulnerable" by the IUCN [International Union for Conservation of Nature]) due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, illegal pet trade, poaching, loss of prey and the high mortality rate of cheetah cubs."They are extinct in 20 countries and occupy only 17% of their historical range." [Dr. Femke Broekhuis, Project Director of the Mara Cheetah Project] The Asiatic cheetah is extinct from India and only exist in Iran, but fortunately there are efforts being made to save them: http://thewildlife.wbur.org/2016/03/24/saving-the-desert-cheetahs-of-iran/
