Le guépard — de l'italien gattopardo, de gatto : « chat », et pardo : « léopard » — est un félin (Felidae) appartenant au genre Acinonyx, qui ne comporte qu'une espèce : Acinonyx jubatus.
Le guépard fait preuve d'un léger dimorphisme sexuel : le mâle est le plus gros des deux sexes. Un guépard adulte mesure de 1,85 à 2,30 m de longueur totale, dont 0,7 à 0,8 m pour la queue, et de 67 à 94 cm de hauteur au garrot.
L'animal adulte pèse de 40 à 65 kg, la femelle étant plus légère.
En captivité, un guépard peut vivre de 12 à 14 ans en moyenne, soit moins qu'un chat mais à peu près autant qu'un lion. Le guépard est sensible, un mauvais froid à la saison des pluies peut lui être fatal.

the cheetah - of Italian gattopardo, gatto: "cat", and pardo: "leopard" - is cat-like (Felidae) pertaining to the Acinonyx kind, which comprises only one species: Acinonyx jubatus.
The cheetah shows a light sexual dimorphism: the male is largest of the two sexes. An adult cheetah measures of 1,85 to 2,30 m overall length, including 0,7 to 0,8 m for the tail, and 67 to 94 cm height to the garrot. The adult animal weighs from 40 to 65 kg, the female being lighter.
In captivity, a cheetah can live from 12 to 14 years on average, that is to say less than one cat but about as much as a lion. The cheetah is sensitive, a bad cold at the rain season can be fatal for him.

Dear Christian
I think I am jealous and I also think some photographers will envy you for this photo. It is as if this cheetah was posing for you. I don’t know what my reaction will be if it happen that I see one of these in real life. I think I’ll forget about my age. Thanks for the interesting notes given. Thanks for sharing. You surely were very lucky with this one.
Warmest regards
Aaltjie
