A race for conservation

Cheetahs are one of my favorite animals, and also on the endangered list. Going from 0 to 70 cheetahs are known to be the fastest land animals in the world. Though cheetahs are fast they can't out run the hunters who kill them for their pelts

Kenya is one of the few places left that cheetahs live, and even these places are shrinking. Farmers are also killing cheetahs because they mistake their livestock for prey. Then there is the genetic problem cheetahs face. Cheetahs have such a small genie pool that males are now being born sterile and this puts a negative effect on the breeding programs that are trying to save the wild cheetahs. Cheetahs in captivity often die from kidney failure because of lack of exercise, so the without the wild cheetahs the cheetahs in captivity will be all we will have left of a graceful speed daemons,and even then who knows how long before the captive cheetahs die off. Please log on http://www.cheetah.org/ to find out more and to help the cheetahs battle for survival. Below is a king cheetah one of the rarest of all..
