FACTS ABOUT WOLVES......

~Wolves are legendary because of their spine-tingling howl, which they use to communicate. A lone wolf howls to attract the attention of his pack, while communal howls may send territorial messages from one pack to another. Some howls are confrontational. Much like barking domestic dogs, wolves may simply begin howling because a nearby wolf has already begun.

~Wolves are the largest members of the dog family.

~Adaptable gray wolves are by far the most common and were once found all over the Northern Hemisphere.

~Though they almost never attack humans, wolves are considered one of the animal world's most fearsome natural villains. They do attack domestic animals, and countless wolves have been shot, trapped, and poisoned because of this tendency.

~In the lower 48 states, gray wolves were hunted to near extinction, though some populations survived and others have since been reintroduced. Few gray wolves survive in Europe, though many live in Alaska, Canada, and Asia.

~Red wolves live in the southeastern United States, where they are endangered. These animals actually became extinct in the wild in 1980. Scientists established a breeding program with a small number of captive red wolves and have reintroduced the animal to North Carolina. Today, perhaps 100 red wolves survive in the wild.

~Wolves live and hunt in packs of around six to ten animals. They are known to roam large distances, perhaps 12 miles (20 kilometers) in a single day.

~These social animals cooperate on their preferred preylarge animals such as deer, elk, and moose.

~Wolfpacks are established according to a strict hierarchy, with a dominant male at the top and his mate not far behind. Usually this male and female are the only animals of the pack to breed. All of a pack's adults help to care for young pups by bringing them food and watching them while others hunt.

~Average lifespan in the wild: 6 to 8 years

~Weight: 40 to 175 lbs (18 to 79 kg)

CHEETAH FACTS

~Weight: 110 to 140 pounds

~Lifespan: 10 to 20 years

~Diet: Smaller antelopes (FOR REAL??? THIS IS ALL THEY EAT? i NEVER KNEW THIS??)

~The cheetah is smaller than the other two cats; the lion and the leapord; but by far the fastest at speeds of 70 miles per hour it can run faster than all other animals.

~Now restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, wild cheetahs once were found in most of Africa, the plains of southern Asia, the Middle East and India.

~The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special pads on its feet for traction and a long, tail for balance. Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about the limit) because it may overheat.

~Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting.

~With a life span of 10 to 12 years, the cheetah is basically a solitary animal. At times a male will accompany a female for a short while after mating, but most often the female is alone or with her cubs. Two to four cubs are born in a secluded place. Their eyes do not open for a week or two, and they are helpless at first. When the mother is hunting, she leaves them hidden, but by 6 weeks of age they are able to follow her.

~The name cheetah comes from an Indian word meaning "spotted one."

~The young cub has a long gray-blue coat and a black underbelly that rapidly lightens and becomes spotted.

~Early peoples trained cheetahs for hunting, and many civilizations depicted them in their art and in written records.
