Cheetah Traditional Cache

This cache was placed for the 2015 NWOGEO Spring Fling and Poker Thing.

You are looking for a small plastic container.

A special thanks goes out to the Hancock Parks Services for allowing us to place the caches and hold the event.

This year the caches are named after animals found in the African wild.

Cheetah:

These slender build, long spotted white-tipped tail, spotted coat with single black spot carnivore is referred as the 'greyhound of cats'. These are the only members of the cat family with non-retractable claws. Cheetah's have a characteristic 'tear mark' running from the inner corner of both their eyes. The smallest cat of Africa can reach a speed of 80 km/hour in less than 3 seconds. Cheetahs are classified as an endangered species due to their dwindling habitat and high mortality rate of the cubs. They are found only in the southern parts of Africa and are extinct outside the African land.
