A cheetah’s slender body is built for speed, as it can accelerate from zero to 45 mph in 2.5 seconds and reach 70 mph, but can only maintain this speed for about 300 yards. A cheetah’s footprints have claw tips visible, more like a dog’s than like a typical cat paw print. A cheetah's teeth are small when compared with other big cats, which accommodates their larger nasal passages that enable quick air intake. Much like a human fingerprint, a cheetah's spots and the ring pattern of its tail are unique, enabling researchers in the field to identify individuals. Cheetahs do not roar, but they make sounds including purrs, barks, growls, hisses, and chirps that are unlike those of any other cat. The most common vocalization is the chirp. Another common vocalization is what has been termed the "eeaow". It is a lot like the meow of a cat, but does not have the initial low frequency. Another common vocalization is the stutter, which appears to be a direct solicitation. Males stutter when it appears that there is a high level of excitement and/or arousal toward a female. Females stutter toward cubs when they either want them to stay put or to follow her. Cheetahs have a conservation status of Vulnerable with a decreasing population trend. Fossil Rim’s cheetah program began in 1985, and 201 cubs have been born at the wildlife center so far. #SpotsAndSpeed #cheetah #bigcat #feline #catfacts #crazycatpeople #fossilrim #fossilrimwildlifecenter #learning #educational #funfacts #safaripark #glenrose #dallas #fortworth #texas #thingstodoindallas
It’s National Bison Month! In 2016, President Obama signed into law the National Bison Legacy Act, which designates the bison as the official mammal of the United States. Fossil Rim is currently home to three female American bison, which can be seen beside our Front Gate. “That (formal declaration) will definitely help the future of American bison as a species,” said Adam Eyres, Fossil Rim director of animal care. “That brings more attention to the species, and that’s a positive thing.” “People might not have that many opportunities to see a large native Texas mammal,” added Dr. Julie Swenson. “You can see a white-tailed deer just about anywhere, but you probably aren’t going to drive down the road and see a wild bison. It’s cool for people to see something that has historically existed here.” #bison #americanbison #nationalbisonmonth #fossilrim #fossilrimwildlifecenter #glenrose #dallas #fortworth #texas #texasnative
