Adults have pretty boring names. Adult female cheetahs are called “females,” and adult male cheetahs are called “males.”

1. 小獵豹叫什么？

小獵豹被稱為幼崽。

成年人的名字很無聊。成年雌性獵豹被稱為“雌性”，成年雄性獵豹被稱為“雄性”。

2. How long is the gestation period of a cheetah?

mama cheetah’s pregnancy will last just 3 months (90-95 days).

Interestingly, cheetahs are induced ovulators. This means that rather than having a monthly cycle, ovulation is brought on by an external factor, like the presence of a male.

But since this is an article about baby cheetahs, that’s enough info on that.

2. 獵豹的妊娠期是多久？

獵豹媽媽的懷孕將持續(xù) 3 個月（90-95 天）。

有趣的是，獵豹是誘導(dǎo)排卵者。這意味著排卵不是由月度周期引起的，而是由外部因素引起的，例如男性的存在。

但由于這是一篇關(guān)于小獵豹的文章，關(guān)于這方面的信息就足夠了。

3. How big is a litter of baby cheetahs?

A typical litter will contain 3 or 4 baby cheetah cubs. However, a litter can range in size from anywhere Between 1 and 8 cubs.

3. 一窩小獵豹有多少只呢？

一窩典型的窩將包含 3 或 4 只小獵豹幼崽。然而，一窩的大小可以在 1 到 8 只幼崽之間。

4. How much does a baby cheetah weigh?

A cub born in the wild will weigh Between 5.3-10.6 ounces (150-300 grams) at birth. Cubs born in captivity tend to weigh a little more, around 18 ounces (500 grams).

This is because mama is always provided with food. And as she is not running from predators, she can focus on self-care.

4. 小獵豹有多重？

在野外出生的幼崽出生時體重在 5.3-10.6 盎司（150-300 克）之間。圈養(yǎng)出生的幼崽往往重一點，大約 18 盎司（500 克）。

這是因為媽媽總是有食物。由于她不會逃避捕食者，她可以專注于自我照顧。

5. What does a baby cheetah look like?

Baby cheetahs are born with all of their spots. The specific pattern is unique to each cub, and will stay with them for life. At birth, their fur is darker and more greyish in appearance.

This is because all of their spots are closer together. In the first few months of their life (as they gain weight), their fur will lighten into its adult coloration.

An absolutely adorable feature of a baby cheetah is its mantle. Similar to a mohawk haircut, these long tufts of silver-grey fur cover their upper back. It’s thought that this aids in camouflage.

Unfortunately (in my opinion), this mantle is gradually shed, starting at around 3 months of age.

Some cheetahs will still have remnants of it as they enter their teenage years.

5. 小獵豹長什么樣？

小獵豹出生時帶有所有斑點。特定的圖案對每只幼崽來說都是獨一無二的，并且會伴隨它們一生。出生時，它們的皮毛顏色更深，外觀更灰。

這是因為它們所有的點都靠得更近。在它們生命的最初幾個月（隨著它們的體重增加），它們的皮毛會變淡成成年顏色。

小獵豹的一個絕對可愛的特征是它的地幔。類似于莫霍克發(fā)型，這些長長的銀灰色毛簇覆蓋著他們的上背部。人們認為這有助于偽裝。

不幸的是（在我看來），這個地幔從大約 3 個月大的時候開始逐漸脫落。

一些獵豹在進入青春期時仍然會留下它的殘余物。

6. Why do baby cheetahs have mohawks?

There are a few different theories as to why baby cheetahs have mantles. One theory is that the silvery color of their mantle makes them more camouflaged when walking through savannah grassland.

Another theory is that this characteristic makes them look like honey badgers (Mellivora capensis).

Although they sound sweet, honey badgers have ferocious defensive abilities. This may make a predator think twice before attacking.

6. 為什么小獵豹身上有莫霍克？

關(guān)于為什么小獵豹有地幔有幾種不同的理論。一種理論認為，它們地幔的銀色使它們在穿越大草原時更加偽裝。

另一種理論是這種特征使它們看起來像蜜獾（Mellivora capensis）。

雖然它們聽起來很甜蜜，但蜜獾具有兇猛的防御能力。這可能會使捕食者在攻擊前三思而后行。

7. Are baby cheetahs born blind and naked?

Cheetah cubs are born with their eyes closed. They will open their eyes after 4-11 days.

During this time they are very vulnerable. For the first 8 weeks of their lives, mama will move them from nest to nest every 5 or 6 days to evade predators.

As stated above, they are born with hair, spots and all.

7. 小獵豹出生時是盲目的還是赤身裸體的？

獵豹幼崽出生時是閉著眼睛的。他們會在 4-11 天后睜開眼睛。

在此期間，他們非常脆弱。在它們生命的前 8 周，媽媽會每 5 或 6 天將它們從一個巢穴移到另一個巢穴，以躲避捕食者。

如上所述，他們天生就有頭發(fā)、斑點等等。

8. How does a baby cheetah get cleaned?

From the time they are born until they leave the nest, mama cheetah carefully cleans her cubs, licking them with her tongue.

Often during these sessions, both mom and pup can be heard purring.

8. 小獵豹如何清潔？

從它們出生到離開巢穴，媽媽獵豹小心地清潔她的幼崽，用她的舌頭舔它們。

通常在這些會議期間，媽媽和小狗都可以聽到咕嚕聲。

9. After how long does a baby cheetah start walking?

Baby cheetahs start walking at 2 weeks.

9. 小獵豹多久后開始走路？

小獵豹在 2 周時開始走路。

10. How long do baby cheetahs stay with their mothers?

A baby cheetah will drink its mother’s milk for around 4 months, after which time it will be weaned. By the age of 20 months, a cheetah will gain its independence. They sure do grow up fast!

Cheetahs have three life stages: Cub (birth to 18 months), adolescence (18-24 months), and adult (24 months +). The average cheetah lifespan is 8-15 years.

Young females will often stay within range of their mothers for life. But young males will leave to start a family elsewhere. Cheetahs tend to be pretty solitary.

Females will stick with their cubs, young males may form a “coalition” together, and grown males will be solitary (except for during mating season).

10. 小獵豹會在媽媽身邊待多久？

小獵豹會在大約 4 個月的時間里喝母乳，然后斷奶。到 20 個月大時，獵豹將獲得獨立。他們肯定長得很快！

獵豹有三個生命階段：幼童（從出生到18個月），adolescenc ê（18-24個月），和成人（24個月+）。獵豹的平均壽命為8-15年。

年輕女性通常會終生待在母親的范圍內(nèi)。但是年輕的男性會離開去其他地方組建家庭。獵豹往往非常孤獨。

雌性會和它們的幼崽呆在一起，年輕的雄性可能會結(jié)成“聯(lián)盟”，成年的雄性會獨來獨往（交配季節(jié)除外）。

11. What does a baby cheetah eat?

As newborns, cheetah cubs will drink only their mother’s milk. Between 6 and 7 weeks, cheetah cubs will start eating meat as they begin to follow mama on her daily travels.

As stated above, they are weaned at 4 months old. When they are a year old, they start participating in the hunt.

11. 小獵豹吃什么？

作為新生兒，獵豹幼崽只會喝媽媽的奶。在 6 到 7 周之間，獵豹幼崽將開始吃肉，因為它們開始跟隨媽媽的日常旅行。

如上所述，它們在 4 個月大時斷奶。當他們一歲的時候，他們開始參與狩獵。

12. What does a baby cheetah sound like?

Baby cheetahs make a variety of cute sounds.

• Churring Noises: A newborn cheetah will make soft churring noises. They also may spit a lot.

• Yelp: A yelp is used by both the mother cheetah and by the cubs. They make this noise if one of the cubs is lost as a means to locate each other. This yelp can be heard up to 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) away.

• Purr: Just like a house cat, these big kitties also purr when they are content, just much louder. A cub will usually start purring a a few weeks of age.

• Whirr: This high pitch sound is made when cubs are fighting with each other. The more intense the fight, the higher the pitch. Siblings, right?

  
  

• 12. 小獵豹聽起來像什么？

• 小獵豹會發(fā)出各種可愛的聲音。

• 嗡嗡聲：剛出生的獵豹會發(fā)出柔和的嗡嗡聲。他們也可能吐了很多。

• 叫聲：母獵豹和幼崽都會叫聲。如果其中一只幼崽丟失，它們會發(fā)出這種聲音，作為相互定位的手段。這種叫喊聲可以在 1.25 英里（2 公里）外聽到。

• 咕嚕聲：就像家貓一樣，這些大貓在滿足時也會發(fā)出咕嚕聲，只是聲音更大。幼崽通常會在幾周大時開始發(fā)出咕嚕聲。

• 呼呼聲：當幼崽互相打架時會發(fā)出這種高音調(diào)的聲音。戰(zhàn)斗越激烈，音調(diào)就越高。兄弟姐妹，對吧？

13. Do baby cheetahs like to play?

Cheetah cubs are very active, especially after they reach 4 months of age. During that time they will learn to climb trees and wrestle with each other.

This time period is also when mama starts teaching her cubs how to hunt.

She will catch and let go of live prey in front of her cubs. The cubs can then practice crouching, chasing, and pouncing.

13. 小獵豹喜歡玩嗎？

獵豹幼崽非?；钴S，尤其是在它們長到 4 個月大之后。在那段時間里，他們將學(xué)習(xí)爬樹和互相摔跤。

這個時期也是媽媽開始教她的幼崽如何打獵的時候。

她會在幼崽面前捕捉并放開活的獵物。然后幼崽可以練習(xí)蹲伏、追逐和猛撲。

14. What is the survival rate of baby cheetahs?

Cheetahs are active during the day, while their predators (like lions, leopards, and hyenas) are active at night. Plus, mama has to leave the nest to hunt.

Sadly, this makes a sleeping baby cheetah pretty easy prey. In high-predator areas, only 1 in 10 will make it past the first 6 months.

14.小獵豹的成活率是多少？

獵豹白天活躍，而它們的捕食者（如獅子、豹子和鬣狗）則在夜間活躍。另外，媽媽必須離開巢穴去打獵。

可悲的是，這使得睡著的小獵豹很容易成為獵物。在高捕食者地區(qū)，只有十分之一的人能度過前 6 個月。
