It is a large cat, the only extant species in the genus Cheetah. Wild populations are found in Africa and Iran, with adult males weighing 30–70 kg. To adapt to fast running, cheetahs have evolved a rather unique body structure of cats. Its skeleton is light, the torso is thin, the limbs are slender to form a tall figure, the spine is elastic for easy relaxation, and a long tail maintains balance when running and turning. However, too fast a speed can cause the cheetah's body temperature to rise instantaneously, and the high-speed run can only last for 3 to 5 minutes.
