MSN Encarta - Cheetah (1486 words)
Scientists primarily study cheetahs in the wild by using radio tracking, in which a collar with a radio transmitter attached is placed around the neck of a cheetah.
Male cheetahs are generally bigger than females, but the size differences between the sexes are not as large as in other big cats, such as lions, tigers, and jaguars.
In Tanzania, where cheetahs have been best studied, a female’s home range may be as large as 800 sq km (300 sq mi) as she follows prey, such as Thomson’s gazelles, that migrate seasonally over long distances in search of fresh grass.
