Crossing the frame...

A few interesting cheetah facts:

 

Those black tear lines on either side of a cheetah’s nose function like a football player’s face paint, keeping the sun out of the big cat’s eyes while they hunt.

 

A cheetah’s claws don’t retract when they run. Instead, they act like cleats to help the cheetah reach its top speeds.

 

When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat.
