Cheetahs are one of the fastest land animals, capable of running over 100 km/h. They have a spotted coat and long legs that enable quick bursts of speed to chase prey like antelopes weighing around 40kg. While cheetahs can sprint at 65mph, they overheat easily and may abandon the hunt if prey survives the initial chase. Their power lies in using lean bodies and long legs to achieve extraordinary speed for catching food.
