“Bloodstained from its last meal, a cub shows features of a hunter built for speed. During sprints, a membrane shields eyes while large nostrils allow for rapid oxygen intake. Dark ‘tearstains’ may block glare.”
???From “Cheetahs: Ghosts of the Grasslands,” December 1999, National Geographic magazine
