Read about wild cats. Look at the words/phrases

a or b?

WILD CATS

ats walk on 1their toes, which enables 2them to

run. The cheetah is the fastest of all big cats and
3
it can reach a speed of 100km/h. Cheetahs run
using their sharp claws to grip the ground, and 4these help
them to turn quickly. The colour and markings of the wild
cats fur help to hide 5it from other animals. Wild cats like the
leopard usually live in forests, while the tiger lives among tall
grasses, 6where the stripes on its fur help to make it invisible.
Cats are good tree climbers, often dropping on other animals.
7
They therefore need good balance and to be able to judge
distances. All cats also have highly developed senses. 8These
enable them to hide and hunt efficiently. The most important
9
ones are hearing and sight for 10they frequently hunt at
dawn and dusk. When 11doing so, a big cats sharp eyes and
sensitive ears give them an advantage over other animals.
