Description

A cheetah is one of the most efficient predators on the planet. The cheetah catches most prey with its devastating acceleration - a cheetah can go from 0 to 110 km/h in just less than 3 seconds. A cheetah rarely has to reach top speed to catch prey, but if it has to, it can run at peak speeds of 123 km/h for short periods of time.
