King cheetah coat
King cheetah coat. The king cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) has a different coat pattern to most other cheetahs, despite being of the same species. The blotched and stripy pattern is thought to be the result of a recessive mutation. When two cheetahs carrying the recessive allele mate, the king cheetah coat pattern may result. They have only been seen in the wild in Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa. The cheetah is the fastest land mammal, reaching speeds of over 110 kilometres per hour when hunting prey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of a King cheetah coat. Unlike most other cheetahs, the king cheetah possesses a unique and mesmerizing coat pattern that sets it apart. This distinctive blotched and stripy design is believed to be the result of a recessive mutation in their genes. The occurrence of this rare coat pattern is only possible when two cheetahs carrying the recessive allele mate, making it an extraordinary phenomenon to witness. These magnificent creatures have been spotted in the wild primarily in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. As we admire this stunning image, we are reminded of the incredible speed at which these big cats can move. Cheetahs hold the title for being the fastest land mammals on Earth, capable of reaching speeds exceeding 110 kilometers per hour while chasing down their prey. Intriguingly, this photograph not only captures nature's artistic flair but also highlights important aspects of zoology and genetics. The study of these beautiful animals provides insights into mammalian biology and fur patterns within felidae species. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous snapshot from African wildlife with utmost precision and detail. It serves as a reminder that our natural world holds countless wonders waiting to be explored and understood by curious minds passionate about unraveling its mysteries.
