Cheeta facts pls?
But of course *says in a French accent
Now, as every grand storyteller knows, we start at the beginning.
After mating with a male cheetah, and roughly 96 days of pregnancy, mother cheetahs typically give birth to an average of 2-6 cubs (sometimes 8). These cubs are blind and deaf for the first few weeks of their life. The mother cheetah leaves her cubs in a den, moving them to a new location every day to limit the percent of attacks on her cubs from hungry predators.
Cheetahs are day time hunters, unlike leopards and hyenas, who are nocturnal and hunt in the night. Cheetah mothers leave their cubs in a hidden den/ shelter when it is time to hunt. This brings up the question, how do these cubs survive, even while hidden to the best of the mothers abilities, when their mother is gone?
And now you have one of my favourite cheetah facts, the answer to this question. Several months after birth, cheetah cubs grow a thick white and grey coat on their neck and back. Why is this important? Because these coats appear very similar to those of a certain zero fucks to give animal that even black mambas and lions avoid.
That’s right, the honey badger. Both cheetahs and honey badgers live throughout Southern Africa. This illusion of natural is called mimicry, and it saves these cubs’ lives. Lurking predators immediately notice the white and grey coat, and instinctively avoid crossing its path. They are tricked into doing the same to cheetah cubs.
Evolution is truly amazing.

🐆 My third digital drawing ✍🏻 2020
I love watching animal documentaries. Especially if they’re of the cat family 🐱
I never truly completed this drawing. I started something else and forgot it existed! That happens a lot. 🫢
I’d keep working on it, but the layers are too messy. I had no idea what I was doing at the time. I understand @procreateapp much better now, though digital painting brushes are still daunting.
