How many Cheetah species are left on the planet?

Answer 1

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)

There is a form called the "king cheetah," which is a genetic mutant form that has a different arrangement of spots. They have larger spots, stripes, and spots that merge into swirls and stripes. The king cheetah is not a separate species or subspecies, but just an odd color form that shows up from time to time in the cheetahs of southern Africa.

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*

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

We don't really know how much are they left on the world because they die and give birth every day.

Answer 5

No more than 100, if that many at present.
