#DYK a cheetah’s keen sense of smell isn’t for hunting—it’s for #communication. They mark territory by urinating on trees, rocks, or termite mounds, using their #scentdetection skills to pick up signals from other #cheetahs.

Wrapping up our look at a cheetah’s incredible nose 🖤! Built for speed, survival, and communication 🐾, its large nostrils maximize oxygen intake during a #chase and its keen #SenseOfSmell helps detect threats and scent markings from other #cheetahs.

Unlike other big cats, #cheetahs rely less on smell when hunting. Their sense of smell works but isn’t as sharp as their sight. Their nose is built for breathing during high-speed chases, not tracking prey by scent.

The dark #TearMarks beneath a cheetah’s eyes help reduce the sun’s glare 🌞 by absorbing light—much like natural sunglasses or an athlete’s eye black. This adaptation improves vision when scanning for prey in the bright savannah.

Unlike many animals, #cheetahs don't have a seasonal fertility cycle. This means cubs can arrive in any season, from sun-soaked summers to chilly winters. 🧵 (1/3)

#DYK a cheetah’s keen #SenseOfSmell 🖤 helps it detect potential threats that could steal its kill or pose danger. By picking up faint scent traces in the air, it gains an early warning, allowing it to react quickly and stay safe.

Ever notice the dark lines on a cheetah’s face? Those "tear marks" are also known as #malarstripes, named after the #malar area around the cheekbones.

Over the upcoming Saturdays, we’ll explore what these stripes do—and why #cheetahs wouldn’t be the same without them 🐆 #CheetahFacts #CaturdayFacts

The large #nostrils of a #cheetah allow max oxygen intake, helping it recover quickly after a #chase. Its breathing rate jumps from 16 to 150 breaths per minute while #sprinting, making efficient airflow crucial for survival.
