The King Cheetah is a color mutation of the Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), which is found in southern Africa. 

It was discovered in 1926. At that time it was thought to be another species of Cheetah but it was actually a color mutation. Later this was acknowledged and was changed.

The King Cheetah has a fur coat covered with splotches of black spots instead of the ordinary cheetah's spotted fur coat. This the key difference between the two.

There are only 30 individual King Cheetahs left in the world and so are extremely rare.

Well they are related to insects as both are in the Phylum Arthropoda, but they aren't Insects.  Anyway, I know that most of you know that spiders and scorpions are Arachnids, not Insects. Ants And Termites This one is a little complicated.  So, when you see ants walking around they don't have wings an thus, cannot fly, but those are worker ants. Worker ants are the ants that gather all the food for the queen and colony and also defend the col

  Picture Source :  https://dinopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Yutyrannus Introduction Yutyrannus is my favorite dinosaur. It is closely related to Tyrannosaurus and was a Tyrannosaurid. It was a medium-sized predatory therapod. Yutyrannus means 'feathered tyrant'. It was the first somewhat large therapod to be discovered with feathers. Discovery of Yutyrannus Yutyrannus was described in 2012 and was a game-changing discovery. It was the first large therapod to be discovered with feathers. Why is Yutyrannus Important? Yutyrannus' discovery led to paleontologists to realize that Large therapods too might have had some type of feathering.  It made them realize that large dinosaurs were more bird-like than previously thought. Yutyrannus Habitat Yutyrannus lived in Early Cretaceous China in the Yixian formation. It lived in very cold environments and had a feathered coating to keep it warm in the harsh habitat. Sinosauropteryx might have lived with Yutyrannus. Yutyrannus Size It was 9 m
