Sorry if it sounds mean, but I also had to edit out the Wikipedia profiles. See our "reliability of information" page on why we generally avoid Wikipedia in profiles and matchup OPs (short version: it changes too often).

Google Scholar is a good place to start. If this is too difficult, you can use National Geographic. Life has a few times used it in the past in lieu of Wikipedia, though you shouldn't overestimate its reliability like you occasionally did in the past. See it more as entry level material.

I'd rather stick to the sources at the bottom. Remember what I told you about the filter of information? The fact that the first link cites Prehistoric Wildlife is major red flag (the other links are either inaccessible, unreliable or not about the American Cheetah).
The website of a museum would be better if you want to stick to a simple source.

Carnivora takes most of its OPs from Wikipedia. What's even worse is that we had an agreement with the administrator not to use Carnivora as a source of OPs.
You don't need much of an OP text actually, as no-one reads them. A list of the most important facts (see dinosauria's new OPs for inspiration) is enough.

Rock, I told you we are not supposed to take OPs from Carnivora. This even applies if you indirectly took a Carnivora OP from dinosauria. If you can't find anything, just stick with the short list of family, diet and size. That's a lot easier for you.
