      They help cheetahs hide by making them blend into their surroundings better. It’s not just their fur that’s spotted, their skin is as well. And now I’m giggling while thinking of the mental image of a shaved cheetah.

      Cheetahs have spots because it allows them to camouflage and hide from their prey. That makes them very effective predator.
