I got surprised when I read about this cat. Apparently it used to live in Europe, too - not anymore, though...

Did you know they found old cheetah fossils in the United States?They believed that cheetahs use to live in the U.S before they migrated to Africa and the lands broken up.

woxys In reply to Little-yuyu [2009-08-14 20:44:42 +0000 UTC]
70 miles? oh and I am sorry, in the Czech republic, we absolutely do not use miles, only kilometres
and yeah, it is very very fast!

Little-yuyu In reply to woxys [2009-08-15 00:19:47 +0000 UTC]
yeah, i forgot that you guys don't use miles there. but yeah, when i was younger, i did a report on them and i learned a lot about them. they are my absolute favorite big cat!
sometimes i wish that i knew how the metric system worked better because more countries use it than the system the U.S. does. but the only times i have really used it is in my science classes such as chemistry or biology. but still, it seems like it is so much easier to use than the system we use.

well, it is a bit easier, I belive
your system is a bit more complicated, for example there is a difference between gallon and American gallon and so on
