CHEETAHSThe fastest land animal in the world is the

cheetah .The cheetah's slender, long-legged body is built for speed. Cheetahs are tan in colour with black spots all over their bodies. They can also be distinguished from other big cats by their smaller size, spotted coats, small heads and ears and distinctive "tear stripes" that stretch from the corner of the eye to the side of the nose.

When cheetahs are running, they use their tails to help them steer and turn in the direction they want to go, like the rudder of a boat

PANDASHigh in dense bamboo forests in the misty, rainy

mountains of south-western China lives one of the world's rarest mammals: the giant panda, also called the panda.

Only about 1,000 of these black-and-white relatives of bears survive in the wild. Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo shoots and leaves.

SNOW LEOPARDS These rare, beautiful gray leopards live in the

mountains of Central Asia. They are insulated by thick hair, and their wide, fur-covered feet act as natural snowshoes. Snow leopards have powerful legs and are tremendous leapers, able to jump as far as 50 feet (15 meters). They use their long tails for balance and as blankets to cover sensitive body parts against the severe mountain chill.

WHAT PEOPLE DO TO THEM

Humans destroy precious habitat--the natural environment of a living thing--when they fill swamps and marshes, dam rivers and cut down trees to build homes, roads and other developments. Oil spills, acid rain and water pollution have been devastating for many species of fish and birds.

THINGS WE CAN DO TO PROTECT THEM

One of the most important ways to help threatened plants and animals survive is to protect their habitats permanently in national parks, nature reserves or wilderness areas. There they can live without too much interference from humans. It is also important to protect habitats outside reserves such as on farms and along roadsides.

Some areas have groups which look after local lands and nature reserves. They do this by removing weeds and planting local native species in their place. You could join one of these groups, or even start a new one with your parents and friends. Ask your local parks authority or council for information.
