The Cheetah roams widely to do so.

    “Like other species of large feline, panthers are carnivores and tend to hunt more at night then during the day. The panthers rest in the shade during the day and will hunt at night. Being black can be an advantage here as they are well camouflaged in the dark” (“Panther”). Hunting at night gives the panther an advantage because most of their prey is asleep. “Top speed: 45km/h (30mph), lifestyle: solitary, special features: long and powerful legs and small paws” (“Panthers”). Being able to go 30 mph and having long powerful legs with small paws helps panthers catch their prey. “The diet of panthers, being a carnivore, consists mostly of large mammals, including deer but they also eat smaller animals including rabbits and birds” (“Facts about Panthers”).

    The chinchilla is a rodent that lives in colonies high in the Andes Mountains of western South America. These beautiful creatures are valued as pets and fur-animals because of their luxurious, velvet-like coats. Chinchillas range from 9 to 15 inches (23-38 cm) long plus a tail that is 3 to 6 inches (8-15 cm); they weigh from 18 to 28 ounces (510-800 g). Females are larger than males. The blue-gray to brown-gray coat is extremely soft and dense; the fur is about an inch (2.5 cm) long. The coat protects the chinchilla from the extremely cold weather of the high Andes and helps prevent water evaporation. Keen sight and acute hearing warn the chinchilla of predators.I chose this animal because its so cute and it doesn't harm anyone or thing.…
