King Cheetah

The King Cheetah is so rare its world population is just under 30 individual cheetahs, with merely a possible 10 living in the wild scattered throughout Zimbabwe and South Africa. The best place to find King Cheetahs is at the DeWildt Cheetah Centre in Pretoria, South Africa. What does a king cheetah look like? King cheetahs are known for their unusual markings. In fact, it's the only way to distinguish them from regular cheetahs. They have large, irregular blotches on their fur rather than small black dots, and they have three vertical stripes that run down their backs from head to tail.
