One of the rarest and elusive animals to exist on the planet today.
A king cheetah is an exceptionally unusual big cat, identified by its creamy colored base fur and three broad, black stripes down its spine.
The shoulders, flanks and sides are marked with irregular motley splotches of dark to black fur, which is unusually thick and the underbelly is white.

The king cheetah, is in fact, a genetic mutation resulting from a recessive gene, like two plain colored domestic cats producing a striped ‘tabby’ kitten. In the case of the king cheetah, a quarter of the young born to two normal cheetahs, both possessing the recessive gene, will have the king cheetah markings and the rest will have normal markings.
It is a very rare animal on all accounts, one of the rarest on the African continent.
