All other cats in the world have the ability to completely retract their claws. Cheetahs have “semi non-retractable” claws which create more traction to help them reach those phenomenal speeds and make quick, sharp turns. Cheetah are designed for speed, reaching 70 kilometres per hour in just 3 seconds!

Cheetahs are also the most endangered cat in Africa. You can help them by Adopting a Cheetah through WWF or by donating to Cheetah Conservation Fund.
