Hunting Cheefo

For short distances the cheeta Is sup
posed to be the swiftest quadruped
However, it is not possible to ascribe
the honor definitely to any particular
animal. The cheeta. which is found in
Asia and Africa, is large tropical cat,
slender of body and limb. 1t is from
three to four feet long and of pale,
tawny color, marked with numerous
dark spots on its sides and back and
almost white beneath. It resembles
the leopard. and is often called the
hunting leopard. The animal resem-
bles tie dog in docility. Its fur is not
sleek like that Of typical cats. 1t has
"a long tail. which is somewhat bushy
at the end.
