Hello and welcome to another episode of Wildlife Crystal.
2
I'm your host, Wildlife Crystal, a wild animal specialist.
3
As you know, on this show Wildlife Crystal,
4
we are going to be learning fun facts about one animal and their environment every episode.
5
I'm here with my very special co-host,
6
the one and only Kaya the Koala.
7
Oh, hey guys!
8
I was thinking, can we talk about an animal that has broken a world record?
9
You know, because I've broken the world record of being one of the cutest hosts on the planet.
10
Oh, yes, you are extremely cute.
11
The cutest in the world?
12
I love your confidence, Kaya,
13
and I think it's a great idea.
14
Let's discuss an animal who has a world record-breaking skill.
15
I have just the animal in mind.
16
Try and guess.
17
The animal we are going to discuss today is the fastest land animal on Earth.
18
Hmm, is it a horse?
19
That's a great guess, but nope.
20
The fastest land animal in the world is the cheetah.
21
I knew that.
22
How fast do they run?
23
Cheetahs can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour.
24
To put that in perspective,
25
the fastest human in the world ran 28 miles per hour.
26
So cheetahs are really fast.
27
They can accelerate from 0 to 68 miles per hour in just 3 seconds.
28
And cheetahs are the only big cat that can turn in midair while sprinting.
29
Also, another fun fact, when cheetahs are running full speed,
30
their stride, which is the length between their steps, is 21 feet.
31
That's like jumping over the length of two small cars.
32
Their feet only touch the ground twice during each stride.
33
That's incredible!
34
Cheetahs are really amazing.
35
And I heard their bodies are built for speed.
36
Is that true?
37
Oh, yes.
38
For many reasons.
39
First, the cheetah has a long muscular tail that is flat-shaped.
40
The tail is like a rudder on a boat
41
because they use it to help control their steering and keep their balance when they're running very fast.
42
Second, the cheetahs have special cleat feet.
43
The cheetah has what's called semi-non-retractable claws,
44
a lot like a dog's claws
45
that work like cleats on a football shoe to give the cheetah lots of traction while running.
46
The pads on most cats' paws are very soft,
47
but the cheetah's pads are hard,
48
kind of like rubber tires.
49
This also helps them grip the ground when they're running super fast.
50
These cats sound cool.
51
Do you think they would ever hang out with me?
52
Well, maybe male cheetahs.
53
Male cheetahs live in small family groups of two to three brothers called coalitions.
54
But female cheetahs are solitary.
55
That means that they spend most of their life alone.
56
If they're not alone, they are living with their babies,
57
also known as cubs.
58
Yay!
59
Tell us about cheetah cubs.
60
Like I was saying before,
61
male cheetahs don't remain with the females after mating and do not help take care of the cheetah babies either.
62
Female cheetahs, on the other hand,
63
are caring, affectionate and dedicated mothers.
64
Female cheetahs give birth to a litter of 2-8 cubs in a secluded spot like a hidden rocky area
65
or a marshy area with tall grass.
66
They do this because the cubs are very vulnerable to predators and many do not survive their first year.
67
When the baby cubs are very young,
68
the mother cheetah will leave her cubs hidden while she hunts for food.
69
But around six weeks old,
70
mom will start teaching the essential survival skills like hunting.
71
But don't worry, the young cubs do have some traits
72
that help them camouflage in with their surroundings when mom is off hunting.
73
Cheetah cubs have long hair
74
that runs down the back of their neck all the way down to the base of their tail called the mantle.
75
The The mantle helps the cheetah cubs blend into the tall grass,
76
which helps keep them safe from threats like lions or hyenas.
77
Very interesting, and I love cheetah moms.
78
They're the best.
79
What do cheetahs hunt for?
80
Cheetahs are carnivores, which means they need meat mainly to survive.
81
Their diet is made up of primarily smaller mammals such as antelopes, gazelles, and impalas.
82
They will also feed on wildebeest calves,
83
babies, and sometimes smaller animals like rabbits and birds.
84
Did you know that while lions and leopards usually do their hunting at night,
85
cheetahs hunt for food during the day?
86
Here's an interesting fact about cheetahs.
87
Because they live in an environment where water is hard to come by,
88
cheetahs can survive on one drink of water every three or four days.
89
Not humans.
90
We need to constantly be drinking water every day.
91
Wow, that's interesting.
92
Tell us more fun facts about cheetahs.
93
Let's talk about their beautiful spotted fur.
94
Cheetah's fur is covered in solid black spots,
95
and so is their skin.
96
The black fur actually grows out of the black spots of their skin.
97
And if you're curious, cheetahs have about 2,000 to 3,000 spots,
98
which help them camouflage themselves.
99
Also, like football players, cheetahs have built-in sun glare protection around their eyes.
100
The cheetah's tear mask is made of black fur,
101
and it runs from the inside corners of their eyes down the outside edges of their mouth.
102
These marks help reflect the glare of the sun when they're hunting during the day.
103
They work just like the black marks that football players put under their eyes during their games.
104
Super cool!
105
Where do cheetahs live?
106
Before, cheetahs were widespread across Africa and Asian continents,
107
but now they are confined mostly to dry,
108
open grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa,
109
with the majority living in natural reserves or parks.
110
This leads me to my next topic, which is very sad.
111
Did you know that there are fewer than 7,500 cheetahs left in the wild,
112
making the cheetah Africa's most endangered big cat?
113
Years ago, cheetahs were hunted for their beautiful spotted fur, which is awful.
114
And today, one of the biggest threats to their survival is loss of habitat.
115
As we've learned in previous episodes of Wildlife Crystal,
116
this means humans are building homes and roads where cheetahs and other animals live and hunt for survival.
117
While humans need these things,
118
it's important to build them where animals are not already living.
119
Another thing you and your family can do right now to help cheetahs
120
and all animals with fur is to never buy clothing that is made out of the fur of another animal.
121
There is no humane way to take fur from an animal.
122
Animals like cheetahs will suffer very painful death if they're killed for their own fur.
123
Humane means having sympathy and consideration for people and animals.
124
You are amazing if you are a humane person.
125
The fur of an animal belongs to them, not us.
126
Let's all work together to make sure that animals and humans live in harmony.
127
Let's always be kind and respectful to every creature on this planet.
128
And now it's question time!
129
Yes, yes, yes.
130
Kaya, are you as excited as I am to put the knowledge we just learned today to the test?
131
I sure am!
132
What traits make the cheetah built for speed?
133
Is it A, their cleat-like semi-retractable claws,
134
B, their strong flat tail that helps them balance,
135
C, the thick rubber-like pads on the bottom of their feet,
136
or D, all of the above?
137
The correct answer is D, all of the above.
138
Cheetahs are definitely built for speed.
139
True or false, cheetahs are the fastest land mammal on earth.
140
The answer is true, cheetahs can run up to 70 miles per hour.
141
What is a baby cheetah called?
142
Is it A, a puppy?
143
B, a cub?
144
C, a kit?
145
Or D, a calf?
146
The correct answer is B, a cub.
147
You guys did perfect.
148
Kaya and I have to go,
149
but we will be learning fun facts about another animal next week.
150
See you next time on Wildlife Crystal.
151
Bye.
152
Thanks, guys.
153
Thanks for coming.
154
Toodles.
155
Bye.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
