In Namibia cheetahs have been found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands , savannahs , dense vegetation , and mountainous terrain . Ninety-five percent live on commercial farms. Once found throughout Asia and Africa, the species is now only scattered in Iran and various countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Home ranges in Namibia for males can be up to 1500 square km and for females, 1200-1500 square km . Behavior Cheetahs have a unique, well-structured social order.
Females live alone except when they are raising cubs.
The female raises the cubs on her own. At 18 months, the mother leaves the cubs, who then form a sibling group, which will stay together for another 6 months. At about 2 years, the female siblings leave the group, and the young males remain together for life. Males live alone or in coalitions made up of brothers from the same litter. Some coalitions maintain territories in order to find females with which they will mate.
