Cheetah

Cheetah

Cheetahs are a member of the cat family. They live in the grasslands of Central Africa. They are the fastest animal on land and they are slightly faster than the pronghorn antelope. Cheetahs run up to 98.17 kilometers per hour.

Most of the cheetahs are found in sub - Saharan Africa, and Eastern and Southern African parks. Some of the animals can still be found in southern Algeria, Northern Niger and Iran. They like dry grass, open grassland where they can pick up speed to kill prey.

In general the diet of a wild cheetah is gazelles, wildebeest calves, impalas, and smaller hoofed animals in its habitat. Cheetahs also eat rabbits, birds, hares, antelopes and warthogs.  

Cheetahs can weigh up to 72 kg. Cheetahs can grow up to 94 centimeters tall and up to 1.5 metres long.

Biograghy

            Jonah Lomu

Do know who was one of the best rugby union players in history? Jonah Lomu was born 12th of May, 1975. The place that where he was born was in Greenlane, Central Auckland in New Zealand. Jonah Lomu is famous because he was a very talented rugby All Black player. But sadly he died because he had a cardiac arrest. The reason why I chose Jonah Lomu for this storey was because he inspires me and because of the way he played rugby and I would want to play like Jonah Lomu one day.

Jonah Lomu had a difficult childhood. He was sent home to Tonga to learn about his family culture then five years later he came back to Auckland. Jonah Lomu was a big fast boy but he got sick alot. When he was nine he got really tall, so he couldn’t fit in the family car. As a teenager he started hanging around with older kids. One of the kids was his cousin who was six years older than him. His cousin was killed in a brawl in Otara and Jonah Lomu became frustrated and angry.

Jonah Lomu went to Wesley College and he said that it saved his life because it taught him discipline.

When he was 19 years old he became the youngest All Black ever. His first game with the All Blacks was 1994 in Christchurch playing France. Jonah played in 1995 World Cup in South Africa. After playing England in the World Cup the England captain Will Carling said: “He is a freak and the sooner he goes away the better. The UK public voted Lomu’s performance in the list of the top greatest sporting moments of all time. In 1996 Jonah got really sick and was told by the doctors that he had a serious kidney disorder, he didn’t play rugby for nearly a year. In 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur he won a gold medal for New Zealand In the Rugby sevens. In 1999 he scored eight tries. Jonah continued playing through the year 2000 and in the year 2001 played for the New Zealand Sevens World Cup. In 2002 Janh retired because he needed a kidney transplant. Jonah returned to rugby in 2005 he needed special clearance from the world anti - doping agency because of the drugs that he was taking for the transplant. He played for North Harbour and also in 2007 World Cup.

Jonah retired from professional rugby in 2007 but still took part in some charity matches in September in 2009 he took part in an amateur bodybuilding contest he came second. In 2011 Jonah attempted to take part in a charity boxing event started Jonah had to pull out of the competition because because he had been in hospital with kidney failure.

I have learnt from Jonah that you can use sport to get rid of anger. Jonah Lomu wrote this quote “For me get through the toughest periods in my life, I had look within to find the energy to do it. I don’t give up, never have, never will”.

Jonah Lomu died in 18th of November at age of 40 it was a sad day or New Zealand rugby and the world.
