However, running at this speed requires a lot of energy, and the cheetah cannot keep up a sprint for long. <img src="http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2009/09/02/cache/2060_600x450.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Sharp eyesight and raw speed make the cheetah a formidable hunter. <img src="http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2009/09/02/cache/2308_600x450.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cheetah Mother and Cubs Cheetah mothers typically give birth to a litter of three cubs, all of which will stay with her for one and a half to two years before venturing off on their own. When interacting with her cubs, cheetah mothers purr, just like domestic cats. <img src="http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2009/09/02/cache/2318_600x450.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cheetah Leaping Through the Air Unlike most African predators, cheetahs hunt during the daytime. When they spot prey, they can accelerate faster than most cars: from 0 to 60 miles (96 kilometers) an hour in only three seconds. <img src="http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2009/09/14/cache/2431_600x450.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Most wild cheetahs are found in eastern and southwestern Africa. Perhaps only 12,000 of these big cats remain, and those are under pressure as the wide-open grasslands they favor are disappearing at the hands of human settlers. <a href="http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/photos/cheetahs/#2319_600x450.jpg" target="_blank">National Geographic</a> </blockquote>
