Taken from Chapter 8: The cheetah Captive cheetahs In the past, cheetahs were killed for their beautiful spotted fur, which was made into coats. Today, few wild cheetahs are hunted, but their chances of survival are, nevertheless, not good. They are losing their habitats to farms and cities and facing the danger of extinction. Even their chance of survival in zoos is not good. Most wild cats are able to adapt to life in captivity, but cheetahs do not breed well in zoos.
The attractive layout with an easy-to-read vocabulary level makes these book appealing to a wide audience. The interesting informative text with the accompanying glossary and index adds to the usefulness of these books as school research resources -- CM, Sept. 1993
