Dangerous Creatures: Cats

   Some cats are very comfortable in the trees.
   Cats are stealthy hunters. They sneak up quietly, and then they pounce.
   The cheetah. This cat’s a sprinter. He’s fast, but he can’t keep it up for long.
   Have you ever wondered why domestic cats never have any trouble getting around at night? Here’s the answer.
   Most people never climb as high into the mountains as the snow leopard does. It may not be climbing for much longer, however.
   Humans are not the only mammals that take good care of their young. What about this for a good mother?
   If you’re prey and you have a group of these crafty hunters (lions) around, you’d better take cover!
   All cats belong to the Felidae family.
   Video: Wild cats of all sizes and colours once roamed all over the world. But many now face the threat of extinction. If we lost any of these beautiful animals, Earth would be a much poorer place.
   Advice: If humans had the powers of cats, we would see well in the dark, and be able to leap from the pavement to the roofs of buildings. But we couldn’t ride bicycles or dial telephones.

And that’s the end of this chain. Cats leads to a screen that we’ll encounter in a later one. There are only two very short chains left now. The next one begins tomorrow with the deadly funnel-web spider.
