| The "King Cheetah": A historical review | |
| 1980 Arnoldia Zimbabwe (9): 1-6 | |
The aberrant from of the cheetah, once regarded as a separate species, _Acinonyx rex_, and known colloquially as the King Cheetah, is characterised by possession of softer, longer and silkier hair and partial replacement of normal spots by dark bars. The teeth of the only authentical skull known is no way differ from those of the normal cheetah, _Acinonyx jubatus_. |
