Scientists have also found that many cheetahs suffer from genetic defects due to inbreeding, possibly the result of a population bottleneck that occurred perhaps as far back as 10,000 years ago. Among other things, inbreeding could raise cub mortality, lower cheetahs' resistance to disease, and cause infertility.
A review of Cheetah facts reveal an animal on the cusp of extinction. Major efforts are being made to save the Cheetah, but the future doesn’t look particularly positive for this fast, beautiful animal.
