Cheetah in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

Blink and you"ll miss it! The fastest mammal in the world, the cheetah, is one of Tanzania"s iconic big cats. Pictured here in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, cheetahs inhabit diverse landscapes from the Serengeti grasslands to the arid expanses of the Sahara. They have long tails, elongated legs, and a slender build that helps them move quickly.
