Cheetahs Living Free and in the WildThis research report is by: Iyanna Tutson

I learned aboutThe Protector of the FamilyHow Do They Hunt?There Weight Is All About The CubsWhy Cant I Find A Cheetah?The Protector Of The FamilyHave you ever heard the saying call it mothers intuition? Well call this Cheetahs intuition. Adult female cheetahs move there cubs to a new hide out every few days to make it harder for predators to find them. However the protecting dose NOT stop here, to protect the cubs they also let the cubs stay with them until 12-20 years old.

The protecting NEVER stops! How Do They Hunt? Sometimes cheetahs may look loving but they are fast, protective, ajial, and feirce hunters they get as close as possible to there prey and stalks it, and then, when it thinks that its prey is in position it ATACTS its prey and brings back dinner for her cub.

There Weight Is The average weight or an adult female cheetah is 86-143 pounds. How they manage to stay so slim when they eat whole gezels. But they still manage to do it.

All About The CubsThe first thing a child usualy sees is his or her mom or dad, but a cheetah however sees his or her mom caring a gezel for dinner.3-5 cheetah cubs are born at once. They stay with there mother from 12-20 years old. They use camoflage to protect themselves from danger and are moved from place to place.

Why Cant I Find A Cheetah?It took 4 Million years for cheetahs to get the way they are today. But yet it only took 100 years for humans to put them on the endangered list. Its not like humans are the only ones to blame because predators like lions are to blame aswell.

BIG BEARSThis research report is by: Seth Lampel

I learned aboutThe Standing SlothPolar SurviversFast BlacksScary GrizzlysGiant PandasThe Standing Sloth Sloth bears have three toes on the front feet and five on the hind feet. The Bradypus (Sloth bear) is about the size of a house cat, with a dense, furry coat and yellowish face. The somewhat larger two-toed sloth has very long hair.Polar SurviversPolar bears start and grow to be very furry. They have a thick fur coat that appears white in coloration but is really translucant. Their fur is dense and water repelling. Adults need an average of 2k (4.4lb) of fat per day to maintain their weight. Their black skin color is really apparent on the nose, eyes, lips, and foot pads.

This Polar bear is very hot on dry land because of its thick coat of it fur.

Fast Blacks Black bears can run at speeds of up to 25 miles (40 km) per hour when chasing prey. Even faster, Polar bears can reach up to 35 miles (65 km) per hour. These speeds are fast enough to allow bears to run down a reindeer, and they can easily outrun a person. They can also swim up to 6 miles (10 km) per hour. However, bears can not run at these speeds for more than a few minutes. Their thick fur and blubber make them too hot.Scary Grizzlys Grizzly bears are very large, tall, and powerful. They are exellent hunters and prey on large mammals such as deer. They are 6 to 8 feet (180-225 cm) long. They stand 3 to 4 feet (105-120 cm) at humped shoulder. They can weigh up to 800lb (360 kg.)Grizzly bears might not look scary when they are young but they are actually very powerful.

Giant Pandas People wonder if Panda bears are even really bears and they can also end their life to be very big so people just refer to them as Giant Pandas. First the cubs teeth appear by the time it is 14 weeks old, and the mother and cub spend much less time using their den. Next the cub starts to play with its mother and at 7 to 9 it starts attempting to eat bamboo. Then the cub continues to nurse until 18 years of age.My SourcesAnimals seaworld.org 2012Rod Preston-Mafham The Secret World of Bears 2002Information Please factmonster.com 2000-2012Safari Park sandiegozoo.org 2012The Library of Congress loc.gov/families 2011-2013 http://www.kidsclick.org/http://www.factmonster.com/http://www.loc.gov/families/http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/http://www.timeforkids.com/http://www.seymoursimon.com/index.phphttp://www.gailgibbons.com/index.htm
