Giant cheetah (SciiFii)

The giant cheetah (Acinonyx pardinensis) is a felid species that is closely related to the cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). The giant cheetah originally lived in Eurasia during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, it is larger in size than the cheetah, growing to be about the size of a lion, but due to its light build, it weighs considerably less than a lion. The giant cheetah also has slightly spots than those of cheetah's, however, during winter, the coat of the giant cheetah becomes lighter and its spots faded to help the animal blend in the snowy environments, while the coat is thicker during winter to keep it warm. The giant cheetah, like the cheetah, is a high-speed sprinter, but due to its proportions, it is slightly slower than the cheetah. The giant cheetah is a carnivore that primarily hunts fast-moving herbivores such as blackbucks, deer, ibexes, and among other species, using the very similar hunting techniques to those performed by the cheetahs. The giant cheetah is usually a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its entire life alone except during the breeding seasons or if it lives with with its brothers, similarly to cheetahs. The conservation status of the giant cheetah is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the giant cheetah's wide natural range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
