The stripes in the face seem to serve to emphasize expression. The usual number in a litter is three or four. The heaviest mortality occurs when the young start to follow the mother. Limiting factor on cheetah populations are very poorly understood. Interest in conservation has highlighted the poor breeding record of cheetahs in most zoos.
