<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/35110249@N05/55125873972/" title="Alert cheetah"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55125873972_ca5375622c_m.jpg" width="240" height="192" alt="Alert cheetah" /></a></p>

<p>The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. <br />
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds, faster than most supercars.<br />
The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes. <br />
There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats.<br />
<br />
<i>De <b>jachtluipaard</b>, <b>gepard</b> of <b>cheeta(h)</b> (Acinonyx jubatus) is een groot katachtig roofdier dat nog voorkomt in Afrika en Iran. Het is de enige nog levende soort uit het geslacht Acinonyx.<br />
De jachtluipaard staat bekend als het snelste landdier ter wereld., en kan bij korte afstanden van maximaal circa 500 meter 112 tot 120 km halen. Hij is slank, flexibel en gespierd gebouwd, als een hazewindhond, met een krachtige borst, een lange staart en voor een katachtige zeer lange poten, waarmee hij zich hard kan afzetten.<br />
De jachtluipaard heeft een licht gele vacht, die bedekt is met kleine, ronde, zwarte vlekken. De onderzijde en borst zijn bijna geheel wit. De kop is vrij klein, met kleine oren en grote, oranje ogen. Van de binnenste ooghoeken tot de mond loopt een zwarte streep, en ook de onderlippen zijn zwart. De achterzijde van oren heeft een zwarte en witte markering. De staart is gevlekt, maar heeft bij de top een reeks van zwarte ringen en eindigt in een zwarte staartpunt. De vorm van de ringen en de hoeveelheid verschilt per dier, vergelijkbaar met de vingerafdruk voor de mens.<br />
Over de ondernek en schouders loopt, vooral bij jonge cheeta's, een opvallende maan van lang haar.<br />
Een volwassen dier weegt tussen 35 en 65 kg, maar gemiddeld 50 kg. De kop-romplengte is 110 tot 150 cm, en de staart kan 65 tot 90 cm lang zijn. De schouderhoogte is gemiddeld 80 cm.<br />
De jachtluipaard leeft in droge, open savannen en in struikgebieden. Hij kan overal overleven waar voldoende prooidieren zijn en het terrein open genoeg is om te kunnen rennen. Hij heeft een voorkeur voor gebieden met schuilplaatsen, vanwaar hij prooi kan besluipen.</i>.<br />

<p>The driver's cab of the new tram at Rapperswil Children's Zoo. The drive is powered by eight 6-volt batteries connected in series to achieve a total voltage of 48 volts. This configuration is common for small electric vehicles, as the series connection adds the voltage, resulting in higher performance and longer operating times. Higher voltages (48V instead of 12V/24V) allow for more efficient drive motors and lower currents, which relieves the strain on the cables. Using eight smaller 6V batteries is more practical for placement in the vehicle than larger batteries to achieve an even load distribution. Switzerland, February 27, 2026. <b>(2/8)</b></p>

<p>A bogie of the new tram at Rapperswil Children's Zoo. The components are positioned so low that it's not really possible to see how the drive system works. A bicycle chain is visible. Switzerland, February 27, 2026. <b>(4/8)</b></p>

<p>The interior of the new tram at the Rapperswil children's zoo is, to put it mildly, spartan. Depending on the number of children and adults, there is space for 16-20 people. The bench to the right of the tram driver is considered first class. A gimmick, also marked on the outside with a yellow stripe. Switzerland, February 27, 2026. <b>(3/8)</b></p>
