Afrikaans: Die Noordwes-Afrikaanse jagluiperd (Acinonyx jubatus hecki), ook bekend as die Sahara-jagluiperd, is 'n subspesie van die jagluiperd wat in die noordwestelike deel van Afrika voorkom (veral die sentrale Wes-Sahara-woestyn en die Sahel). Dit word as kritiek bedreig geklassifiseer, met 'n totale wêreldbevolking wat na raming sowat 250 volwasse individue is. Die vernaamste prooi van die Noordwes-Afrikaanse jagluiperd is wildsbokke wat by 'n droë omgewing aangepas is, soos die addaks, dorkas-, rhim- en damagaselle. Dit kan ook kleiner diere soos hase vang. Hierdie jagluiperds kan oorleef sonder direkte toegang tot water, en verkry water indirek uit die bloed van hul prooi.
English: The Northwest African Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus hecki), also known as the Saharan Cheetah, is a subspecies of cheetah found in the northwestern part of Africa (particularly the central western Sahara desert and the Sahel). It is classified as critically endangered, with a total world population estimated to be about 250 mature individuals.
The main prey of the Northwest African Cheetah are antelopes which have adapted to an arid environment, such as the addax, Dorcas Gazelle, Rhim Gazelle, and Dama Gazelle. It may also take smaller animals such as hares. These cheetahs can subsist without direct access to water, obtaining water indirectly from the blood of their prey.
