| Abstract: |
This article, titled "Cheetah Chase" by Susan Yoder Ackerman and illustrated by Diane Blasius, provides a glimpse into the life of a cheetah named Duma and her cubs in the African grassland. The article describes how cheetahs are well-hidden and sleep during the day, and hunt in the late afternoon. It explains the physical characteristics that make cheetahs fast, such as their long, light, and muscular bodies, and their loose joints and flexible spines. The article also highlights the cheetah's hunting techniques, including their ability to run at speeds of over 45 miles per hour and their use of their claws and tail for balance. The article concludes with Duma's unsuccessful hunt and the need for rest. [Extracted from the article] |
