Trust me, you're not the only one!
Did you know that the Asiatic Cheetah, critically endangered, has a population of only 50-60 individuals? |

Good grief...Thats worse than the King cheetah! 
Did you know...
Cheetahs can't retract their claws like other felines? They use them for traction when running... |

Yup!
Did you know...
That the black stripes beneath athletes eyes are used for the same thing, and that in recent years black adhesive tape is used much more commonly than the traditional 'eye black' grease? |

*This is kinda simple, but hopefully it works...*
Did you know that black or darker colors absorb more heat than white since white reflects more heat and light than black, which in turn, absorbs all colors and most light? |

Ah, yes that I did know.
Did you know that zebras are actually black with white stripes? It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, since some zebras have white underbellies. Embryological evidence, however, shows that the animal's background color is dark and the white stripes and bellies are additions. |
