Tanzanian cheetah
The Tanzanian cheetah (''Acinonyx jubatus raineyii'' syn. ''Acinonyx jubatus fearsoni''), also commonly known as East African cheetah〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facebook by Wild Catopia East African Cheetah (''Acinonyx jubatus fearsoni''/''raineyii'') )〕 or Kenyan cheetah, is a subspecies of cheetah found on the eastern part of Africa. They live in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Somalia.
These cheetahs are close to being classified as endangered. In 2007, the total number of cheetahs in East Africa were estimated at 2,572 adults and independent adolescents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/219/0#sectionPopulation )〕 Tanzanian cheetahs are the second-largest population after the most numerous South African cheetah (''Acinonyx jubatus jubatus'').
==Evolutionary history==
Not much is known about the Tanzanian cheetah's evolutionary story, although at first, the Eastern and Southern African cheetahs were thought to be identical as the genetic distance between the two subspecies are low.〔O’Brien S. J. 1987. East African Cheetahs: Evidence for Two Population Bottlenecks? Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. 84:508-11.〕 However, in the 1990s, DNA research revealed the Tanzanian cheetahs and their southern cousins are separate subspecies.
