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.
Their habitat all depends on the abundance of food and the presence of bigger predators. Cheetahs use their exceptional eyesight from high points such as trees, rocks to observe and smell any potential preys. The main threat to cheetahs is the loss of habitat as open plains, woodland and others are common living places for other animals and...humans. More and more ranchers have settled where cheetahs used to live that has reduced their habitat.And lots of farmers have killed cheetahs who like to live around farms for easy preys.
