Procedure for Testing an Unknown: 1  The BAP test may be used to either test a throat culture or an unknown bacterial species for hemolytic activity. 2  If an unknown species of bacteria is to be tested, divide a BAP plate in thirds.
The geographic area of the cheetah population is dwindling. Today they are mainly found in sub-Sahara Africa. Cheetahs mainly exist in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, and Northwestern Iran. These cats are now thought to be extinct in India and rare in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Russia.
The cheetah is the single surviving species of the genus Acinonyx. A cheetah's footprints have claw tips visible, more like a dog's than like a typical cat's print. Cheetahs have very low levels of genetic variation compared to other mammals, making them susceptible to disease.
