In full flight.... (Explore 2 April 2016)
There is hardly anything more spectacular than a cheetah at full speed!
Cheetah Acinonyx jubatus
Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 metres (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death. The cheetah's body is specialised for speed; it is the fastest land mammal. Its thin and light body makes it well-suited to short, explosive bursts of speed, rapid acceleration and an ability to execute extreme changes in direction while moving at speed. The typical speed in a sprint is 112 km/h (70 mph).
This particular hunt was unsuccessful!
