About this picture
A cheetah stretched out mid-run, the fastest land animal, drawn as one long low body.
The outline starts at the nose on the left, climbs over two pointed ears, runs along the back to a tail flicked up high, then comes back along the belly and legs.
Talk about it: Cheetahs can run as fast as a car on a town street. Which animal do you think is the slowest?
- Dots: 17, joined by 16 numbered lines. That is the 4th most dots of the 33 pictures.
- Path: dot 1 is at the bottom left of the picture and the numbers go clockwise around the cheetah. The page stops at dot 17, so draw one more line from 17 back to 1 to close the outline. It is shorter than most of the numbered lines.
- Shape: the finished outline is about 2.5 times as wide as it is tall.
- Mirror line: the left and right sides are different, so the picture has no fold line down the middle.
- Line lengths: the longest numbered line is from 13 to 14 and the shortest is from 3 to 4. The long one is about 4 times as long.
- Straight lines: of the 17 lines, two go straight across and none goes straight up and down; the other 15 slant. A ruler helps with the straight ones.
- Corners: four sharp points sticking out, at dots 1, 3, 5 and 10; one deep notch cutting in, at dot 4.
- Next picture: for fewer dots, try the musical note (16 dots); for more dots, try the airplane (18 dots).
