All this results in a skull that weighs around 500 grams. That\u2019s just over a pound. Now, cheetahs need this light skull to make space for a large nasal cavity. Because cheetahs need LOTS of oxygen. To help meet this need, they have large nostrils that allow for quick and large intakes of air while the cheetah\u2019s large chest holds its lungs and heart, which work together to help circulate the oxygen throughout its body. And that\u2019s crucial, since a cheetah can take anywhere between 60 to 150 breaths per minute. This is a drastic increase, since at rest, a cheetah takes in about 9 breaths per minute. That means that when these cats really get going, their breathing rate goes up to SIXTEEN TIMES faster. What\u2019s even more fascinating is that while running, you\u2019ll notice that a cheetah\u2019s head doesn\u2019t move. It stays incredible still.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cheetah has a short muzzle, small canines, and other features to help reduce the overall weight of its head.
