12 月 4 日庆祝国际猎豹日！ 2010 年，Laurie Marker 博士将 12 月 4 日指定为国际猎豹日。一年一度的庆祝活动是为了纪念一只名叫 Khayam 的猎豹幼崽，她在俄勒冈州温斯顿的野生动物园饲养。

Khayam 是一只猎豹，他为第一个野生动物研究项目接受了训练。这项研究是为了确定是否可以教圈养出生的猎豹捕猎。 1977 年，Marker 博士带着 Khayam 前往纳米比亚进行研究项目。她目睹了猎豹在那次旅行中变得多么濒临灭绝。作为保护牲畜的一种方式，农民正在从景观中大量消灭猎豹。

International Cheetah Day

Celebrate the cheetah on December 4th! In 2010, Dr. Laurie Marker designated December 4th as International Cheetah Day. The annual celebration was set in remembrance of a cheetah cub named Khayam, that she raised at Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon.

Khayam was a cheetah trained for the first research project in rewilding. The research was to determine if captive-born cheetahs could be taught to hunt. In 1977, Dr. Marker took Khayam to Namibia for the research project. She witnessed how endangered the cheetah was becoming on that trip.  As a way to protect their livestock, farmers were eliminating cheetahs from the landscape in very large numbers.

1990 年，马克博士发起了 CCF 并搬迁到纳米比亚，以缓解农民与猎豹冲突的问题。由于与 Khayam 的互动，Marker 博士毕生致力于成为猎豹的冠军。她选择了 12 月 4 日——Khayam 的生日——作为全世界联合起来庆祝最快的陆地哺乳动物的日子。

了解更多关于如何参与并在每年 12 月 4 日与 CCF 一起庆祝国际猎豹日的信息！

In 1990, Dr. Marker launched CCF and relocated to Namibia to mitigate the problem of farmer-cheetah conflict. Because of her interactions with Khayam, Dr. Marker dedicated her life to becoming the cheetah’s champion. She chose December 4th – Khayam’s birthday – to be the day the world would join together in celebration of the fastest land mammal.

Cheetah Facts

Tail like a rudder

The cheetah has a long, muscular tail that has a flat shape. The tail almost functions like a rudder on a boat because they use it to help control their steering and keep their balance when running very fast.

尾巴像舵

猎豹有一条长而肌肉发达的尾巴，尾巴呈扁平状。尾巴的功能几乎就像船上的舵，因为它们用它来帮助控制转向并在快速行驶时保持平衡。

Like Football Players

Cheetahs have “tear marks” that run from the inside corners of their eyes down to the outside edges of their mouth. These marks help reflect the glare of the sun when they are hunting during the day. They work just like the black marks that football players put under their eyes during the games. These marks also work like the sights on a rifle, to help the cheetah “aim” and stay focused on their prey when they are hunting.

像足球运动员

猎豹有“泪痕”，从眼睛的内角一直延伸到嘴巴的外缘。这些标记有助于反射白天狩猎时的强光。它们的作用就像足球运动员在比赛中放在眼睛下面的黑色标记一样。这些标记也像步枪上的瞄准具一样起作用，帮助猎豹“瞄准”并在狩猎时专注于猎物。

Spotted Skin

The cheetah’s fur is covered in solid black spots, and so is their skin! The black fur actually grows out of the black spots on their skin.

斑点皮肤

猎豹的皮毛上布满了纯黑色的斑点，它们的皮肤也是！黑色的皮毛实际上是从它们皮肤上的黑点中长出来的。

Almost like flying

When cheetahs are running full speed, their stride (length between steps) is 6-7 meters (21 feet). Their feet only touch the ground twice during each stride.

几乎像飞一样

当猎豹全速奔跑时，它们的步幅（步距）为 6-7 米（21 英尺）。在每一步中，他们的脚只接触地面两次。

Not just a funny haircut

Cheetah cubs have long tall hair that runs from their neck all the way down to the base of their tail, which is called the mantle. The mantle makes a cheetah cub look like a honey badger and makes them blend into tall grass, which helps keep them safe from threats like lions and hyenas.

不仅仅是一个有趣的发型

猎豹幼崽的长毛从脖子一直延伸到尾巴根部，称为地幔。地幔使猎豹幼崽看起来像一只蜜獾，并使它们融入高草中，这有助于保护它们免受狮子和鬣狗等威胁。

A cheetah's favorite food

Cheetahs are carnivores, and feed mostly on smaller antelope like springbok, steenbok, Thomson’s gazelle, and duiker. They usually chase down their prey and then bite its throat, killing it by cutting off its air supply (suffocation).

猎豹最喜欢的食物

猎豹是食肉动物，主要以较小的羚羊为食，如跳羚、大羚羊、汤姆森瞪羚和小羚羊。它们通常会追逐猎物，然后咬住它的喉咙，通过切断它的空气供应（窒息）来杀死它。

A lot of kids

A mother cheetah usually cares for anywhere from 2 to 8 cubs per litter, but cubs are often the target of other predators and many do not survive past the first year.

很多孩子

母猎豹通常每窝照顾 2 到 8 只幼崽，但幼崽通常是其他掠食者的目标，许多幼崽都活不过第一年。

Most endangered cat

There are lfewer than 7,500 cheetahs left in the wild, making the cheetah Africa’s most endangered big cat.

最濒危的猫

野外仅存不到 7,500 只猎豹，使猎豹成为非洲最濒危的大型猫科动物。

Everyone is welcome to share how they will celebrate the cheetah on December 4th. From online watch parties for Born to Explore: Namibia: Land of the Cheetah (available on Amazon Prime Video), to socially-distanced outdoor meet-ups at your local zoo’s cheetah enclosure, let people know how to join in on the cheetah fun. 

2. Help fulfill Cheetah Conservation Fund’s (CCF) AmazonSmile Charity List and with support from international shipping company MyUS, CCF will receive a 30% discount on shipping much needed supplies to our Centres in Namibia and Somaliland.
