Adaptations in an Animal

Captured at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Cheetahs were once my favorite animal as a kid. I was so fascinated by their speed and agility.Cheetahs, though, have adapted the traits they now have. What does adaptation mean? Adaptation means the alteration of an organism by natural selection over time. Cheetahs are adapted to run to up to 60 miles per hour, their slim frame, claws, and long legs help gain this speed, making them the fastest land mammal on Earth.
