cheetahs

Cheetahs are large cats known for being the fastest land animals, reaching speeds up to 60-70 mph in short bursts. They have a slender body, long legs, and a flexible spine, which help them accelerate quickly. Cheetahs hunt mainly during the day, using keen eyesight to spot prey like gazelles from afar. Their distinctive coat features black spots on a golden-yellow background, providing camouflage. They are built for speed but have a relatively small build and short-lived stamina, meaning they rely on rapid acceleration and precise timing to catch prey efficiently.
