People often confuse the Cheetah with the Leopard.  Cheetahs are a yellow color with black dots.  If you look at their face they also have a black line coming out of their eye that looks like a tear drop.   They hunt during the day to avoid competition from the Leopards and Lions who typically hunt at night.  They can reach a speed of 60 MPH but only for about 1 minute at a time.
