'''Cheetahs''' are very rare [[creature]]s who inhabit [[tropical]] flatlands, where they roam as solitary hunters. These carnivore predators are nearly as heavy as a [[dwarf]] and may present a problem to small [[domestic animal]]s, though they're likely to avoid dwarves themselves. As expected of the species, cheetahs are incredibly fast runners, running at 87 km/h (the max [[gait]] speed handled by the game), making them the fastest animals on land. A newborn cheetah is called a ''cub''.
+
'''Cheetahs''' are large predators in [[tropical]] flatlands that roam as solitary hunters. They will avoid dwarves for the most part, unless dwarves [[ambusher|seek them out.]]

Cheetahs can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into valuable exotic [[pet]]s, and fully tame cheetahs can sometimes be brought in [[Elf|elven]] [[caravan]]s. They can be further trained into war or hunting beasts, with their speed making them particularly good for dealing with fast intruders like [[kobold]]s. They can be [[butcher]]ed for a decent amount of returns, though their rarity makes this a possible waste of a good cheetah unless a breeding pair is obtained. Products made from cheetah parts are [[Item value|worth]] thrice more than those made from common creatures.
+
Captured cheetahs can be [[tame]]d and kept as exotic [[pet]]s, or [[animal trainer|trained]] for hunting or war. Tame cheetahs may also be acquired by trading with the [[elf|elves]]. Cheetahs can serve as lucrative [[breeding]] stock for a [[meat industry]], as cheetah [[butcher]]ing returns are worth three times as much as those of common domestic animals.
  
−
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] cheetahs for their ''speed''.
+
With the addition of the gait system in DF2014 the cheetah can now travel up to 120kph (~75mph).
