Cheetahs are the largest of the small cats. The cheetah population once covered all of Africa and Asia. Now cheetahs are an endangered species. Loss of habitat, commercial farming, and development are major causes of its decline. Today, there are fewer than 12,000 cheetahs left on the planet. Explain, using your knowledge of natural selection, why it may be difficult to stop the decline of the cheetah population.
