The Asiatic Cheetah is kind of fawn-colored and has small black spots arranged in lines on its nape and head; but on the body, these spots are just scattered irregularly. It may be interesting to know that these spots are unique to each cheetah, just like fingerprints in humans. The distinctive feature of Asiatic cheetah are the black tear marks or tear streaks just coming down of the its eyes and ending at the outside edges of its mouth, exactly like tears. Why are these marks created on its face? Yeah, to reflect the glare of sun, so that it can see the prey and hunt it easier. But let’s see how big this cheetah is. If it is an adult Asiatic cheetah, it is about 112-135 centimeters, with a tail of 66 to 84 centimeters. The male ones are bigger than the females.

Thank you Zahra for such a nice arrangement. The trip was exactly as we expected. We liked to visit the Zoroastrian parts and the tour was really inclusive. We loved Iran and specially its people. We will certainly tell our Malaysian countrymen about Iran and Iran Destination tour operator.

As mentioned before, the Asiatic Cheetah now only lives in Iran. But do they live just in one area of Iran? Not really. The Asiatic cheetah almost lives in the desert areas around Dasht-e Kavir. Kavir is in the eastern half of Iran and includes some parts of the Semnan, Kerman, Tehran, Khorasan, Yazd, and Markazi provinces. Most of these rare animals live in five protected areas in Iran: Kavir National Park, Touran National Park, Bafq Protected Area, Dar-e Anjir Wildlife Refuge, and Naybandan Wildlife Reserve.

The Asiatic Cheetah population was almost 200 individuals in Iran. But the bad news is that fewer than 40 Asiatic cheetahs are left in the world, i.e. in Iran. But as mentioned before, they do not live all together, as they live in 7 provinces of Iran. This statistics is provided by the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS). This society has made ID cards for the Asiatic Cheetahs in Iran. This way the researchers can monitor them more effectively.

Actually three dangers threaten these rare animals: cars, farmers and having nothing to eat. But after these projects, the main danger was lack of prey. Therefore, a group of protectors built up numbers of gazelles and rabbits for the cheetahs to eat, and this project was largely successful.
