There are five living subspecies of cheetah, but the differences among them are very small. And this though some investigators argue that there isn't enough of a difference in the genetics of these cats to justify any subspecies at all. Skin grafts between cats "take" easily and are not rejected, and this suggests an extraordinary similarity in the DNA of these creatures. Further, some studies point to genetic bottle-necking of this cat at the time of the last ice age.
The debate continues, and may never resolve, but the five subspecies often cited are:
- - Acinonyx jubatus jubatus, the type subspecies, from southern Africa
- - A. j. hecki, the West African cheetah
- - A. j. raineyii, from East Africa
- - A. j. soemmeringii, from Central Asia (probably extinct)
- - A. j. venaticus, from southwest Asia and India (today, only a remnant population lives in Iran)

Five, but four of them are extinct now. Acinonyx Jubatus is the only living species of cheetah left. There is no difference in species between a cheetah and a king cheetah, a king cheetah is just a small mutation.
- Cheetah - King Cheetah *^The King cheetah is not really a kind but was created by a rare genetic mutation*
There is but a single species of cheetah but split between 5 subspecies.
Species: Acinonyx jubatus
Subspecies:
A. j. venaticus
A. j. hecki
A. j. jubatus
A. j. soemmeringii
A. j. raineyii
so far as i know only two but there could be more, the species is the king cheetah, then the cheetah we already know about
We don't really know how much are they left on the world because they die and give birth every day.
