Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)- Data, Pictures & Videos

[Spalea]

Beverly Joubert: " Grooming is a vital part of cheetah life. Although these cats are not as social as lions, they are also not as solitary as many other wild cats. Cubs will stay with their mothers for some time before heading off on their own and males often form coalitions that give them an advantage when securing a meal, so it's not uncommon to see cheetahs moving in groups. Acts of mutual grooming help to strengthen bonds between individuals and these slender cats are even known to purr when interacting. Of course, a smear of fresh blood on the face is likely to attract a bit of extra attention!⁣"
