3. Where they live and that they eat
Cheetahs live in Africa, and also in India and Central Asia .
They prefer open spaces: savannas, semi-deserts.
They hunt for medium-sized
hoofed animals: gazelles,
impalas, calves of a gnu — and
also for hares.
Three cheetahs can overcome an
ostrich.
4. Rescue them from extinction!
Here are the main reasons why these unique predators are
on the verge of extinction:
1. Hunting for skins of animals.
2. Lack of food in their habitat.
3. Breeding problems.
The number of cheetahs fell from 100 000 individuals to 13 000.
To keep animals, in some regions of Africa special parks were created.
On their territory it is necessary to observe some rules: not to rustle, not
to throw out garbage, not to move down from roads and not to come to
animals closer than the certain distance.

13. About bird
• is an extinct North American bird. The
species lived in enormous migratory flocks
until the early 20th century, when hunting
and habitat destruction led to its demise.
One flock in 1866 in southern Ontario was
described as being 1 mi (1.5 km) wide and
300 mi (500 km) long, took 14 hours to
pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion
birds. That number, if accurate, would
likely represent a large fraction of the
entire population at the time
