But from the perspective of [[conservation biology]], the cheetah is more significant as a case study in [[genetic load]] and the consequences of population bottleneck. The species experienced a severe genetic bottleneck approximately 10,000 years ago, and modern cheetahs show remarkably low genetic diversity — so low that skin grafts between unrelated individuals are accepted as if they were identical twins.<br /> <br /> This genetic uniformity makes the cheetah exceptionally vulnerable to disease, environmental change, and inbreeding depression. It is a living demonstration that a population can be numerically large but genetically doomed — a counterexample to the naive assumption that headcount equals viability. The cheetah is the canary in the coal mine for the [[Sixth Mass Extinction]]: a species that looks healthy on the surface but is walking on a genetic tightrope.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;See also: [[Conservation biology]], [[Genetic load]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Life]]<br /> [[Category:Ecology]]</div>
