Cheetah Pattern
The Back Story:
The Mark of The Cheetah
Adult cheetahs have short yellow or tan fur covered with round black spots, each about one inch across. Even though their look is distinctive, a hunting cheetah can hide “in plain sight” in the grass on an open plain. The animal’s long, thick tail also has spots that merge into four to six dark rings with a white tip at tail’s end. The name “cheetah” comes from a Hindi word meaning “spotted one”. Besides its beautiful coat, this cat’s other distinguishing feature is the ability to accelerate from zero to 70 mph in just seconds.
Nature’s patterns are both beautiful and practical. An animal’s fur pattern, for example, is unique to its species. Whether stripes, spots or some variation in-between, the purpose is camouflage.
