The cheetah has a tan coat with small round black spots.  It is the fastest land animal & can accelerate from 0 to 110km in only 3 seconds!  The cheetah is the only one of the big cats who cannot roar.  Instead they yip, chirp, growl, yowl & purr.  Cheetahs hunt their prey (antelope, warthog, hare gazelle) by stalking.  When their prey is within 10-30m it then chases it for a maximum of 1 minute.  It trips up its prey then bites the underside of its throat to suffocate it.
