The cheetah or hunting leopard (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx.
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 110 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds.
The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes.
There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats.
______________________________
De jachtluipaard, gepard of cheeta(h) (Acinonyx jubatus) is een groot katachtig roofdier dat nog voorkomt in Afrika en Iran. Het is de enige nog levende soort uit het geslacht Acinonyx.
De jachtluipaard is met een maximum snelheid van 110 à 120 km het snelste landdier ter wereld. De kat is aangepast aan jagen met een korte, zeer snelle sprint. In drie seconden rent het dier van stilstand naar 110 km. Hij is als een hazewindhond slank, flexibel en gespierd gebouwd met een krachtige borst, een lange staart en voor een katachtige zeer lange poten, waarmee hij zich kan afzetten.
Een volwassen jachtluipaard heeft een licht gele vacht, die bedekt is met kleine, ronde, zwarte vlekken. De onderzijde en borst zijn bijna geheel wit. De kop is vrij klein, met kleine oren en grote, oranje ogen. Het voorhoofd en de wangen hebben zeer kleine zwarte vlekken. Van de binnenste ooghoeken tot de mond loopt een zwarte streep, en ook de onderlippen zijn zwart.
De staart is gevlekt, maar heeft bij de top een reeks van zwarte ringen en eindigt in een zwarte staartpunt.
De vorm van de ringen en de hoeveelheid verschilt per individu, vergelijkbaar met de vingerafdruk voor de mens.
Een volwassen dier weegt tussen 35 en 65 kg, maar gemiddeld 50 kg. De kop-romplengte is 110 tot 150 cm, en de staart kan 65 tot 90 cm lang zijn. De schouderhoogte is gemiddeld 80 cm.
De jachtluipaard leeft in droge, open savannen en in gebieden met struiken. Hij kan overal overleven waar voldoende prooidieren zijn en het terrein open genoeg is om te kunnen rennen. Hij heeft een voorkeur voor gebieden met schuilplaatsen, vanwaar hij prooi kan besluipen.
Deze opname is gemaakt in Burgers Safari, het safaripark binnen Burgers Zoo.

Thanks to Alex and Ari for the PS help.
Fastest spec diesel X3 with 322bhp. Can also get a M40i petrol with 355bhp. Not a bad looking car compared to the old shape.
Male Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) sauntering across a frozen field. Pronghorn are the fastest land mammals in the Western Hemisphere, and only the Cheetah is faster. Scientists speculate that the Pronghorn, being built for maximum predator evasion through running, evolved to escape from extinct predators such as the American cheetah. Its speed greatly exceeds that of any existing North American predators. The Pronghorn has a large windpipe, heart, and lungs to allow it to take in large amounts of air when running. Additionally, their hooves have two long, cushioned, pointed toes that absorb shock when running at high speeds. They also feature an extremely light bone structure and hollow hair.

I took this shot with the fastest lens I have in my vintage lens collection, an ultrafast f/0.7 X-ray lens, the Canon Lens X 60mm f/0.7. This lens was used in X-ray machines before the digital area. It is a tank, weighting 2.7 kg. The front diameter is 101 mm, back 55 mm. The flange focal distance is less than 10 mm, e.g. too short for Sony E-mount, which is 18 mm.
I simply used tape to attach the camera to the lens. This temporary solution works great, and is surprisingly sturdy. With this setup the focus distance is about 19.5 cm. So this lens has a fixed focus distance, can't focus to infinity, and is always fully open. The depth of field is around 2 mm, which makes it very hard to focus. This lens is so fast, I used ISO 100 and 1/350 sec for this shot.
See short video clip that demos the shallow depth of field, and photos of the lens at the X-Ray Lenses group on Facebook: bit.ly/3IaFZUh
This lens is as fast as the legendary Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7, which was made for NASA, and was used by Stanley Kubrick to shoot his film Barry Lyndon: bit.ly/2LpV0WY
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

I have no idea why these two are loafing on the kitchen floor, but they've both been just fed. Sunny is the bigger of the two but Cherie's the fastest growing cat that we've ever had. 🐱
Cherie's face is heavily camouflaged by her tortoiseshell fur pattern. I had to increase the shadows so that her nose and jawline could be seen. She has a very soft, medium length fur which makes it easy for us to groom.

This lens is so fast, I used ISO 200 and 1/200 sec for this candlelight shot. The Christmas tree is about 1 m (3 feet) behind the candle. Each light on the tree turns into a big bokeh bubble, bigger than the sensor, which is full frame.

Fastest land animal in North America. Sometimes called "speed goats." Our beautiful world, pass it on.
...In a unique color! Looked awesome in person. I honestly don't even know how to describe it. Kind of a maroon/purple color.
The Hawker Sea Fury is often regarded as one of the fastest piston-engine military aircraft, reaching speeds of over 460 mph in its production form. While highly modified racing planes like the Grumman F8F Bearcat (Rare Bear) set records, such as 530 mph in 1989, these were extensively altered for performance beyond their original military specifications. Among unmodified piston-engine fighters, only a few, like the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil, with its unique push-pull twin-engine design, approached similar speeds, reaching 474 mph. The definition of the fastest piston-engine aircraft often depends on whether modifications are considered and whether the aircraft was used in a military or civilian context.
World speed record holder 43302 seen passing Sileby with the 1B38 1145 Nottingham - London St Pancras 7/11/20. The Powercar itself still holds the record for the fastest diesel train achieving 148.5mph, 33 years ago this month.

(Fastest measured speed In a dive)
Enough said! ?
Well not quite... In level flight, the peregrine, with an average speed of 40 mph, is not even quick enough to catch a pigeon!
Luckily I photographed this one in 'Pigeon mode'!
Fastest wedding I ever saw, she took the seed and was gone in like 1 second I don't even know how how I got the photo ...blind luck?.
Getting close to pronghorn isn't always easy. The fastest land mammal in North America is also keenly cautious. They were built to outrun the North America's extinct cheetah like cats. Speed alone would not have been enough to keep them safe. Having arrived before the herd, I sat at the base of a sage and remained as quiet as possible, without overtly trying to hide. The pronghorn took notice but apparently didn't find me to be much of a threat as they continued to graze and browse across the open field, moving slowly in my direction. I truly think that they are some of the most elegant and underappreciated ungulates of the west and I relished the opportunity that they provided me for closer observation.
The fastest land animal in the world is also the most endangered big cat of Africa. Even stranger is the fact that the cheetah evolved from a mountain lion ancestor in North America and migrated across Beringia into Asia, Europe, and Africa. At least two large extinction events led to the eradication of North American and European species, leaving only those in Asia and Africa. Since then, habitat loss, climate change, and conflict with humans has led to the depletion of the African cheetah and an almost complete eradication of the Asian species. Several genetic
“bottleneck” event have led to extreme inbreeding and as a result, a severe lack of genetic variability. This presents its own inherent problems with regard to survival of the species. Overall, the worlds fastest runner may be racing towards an extinction with estimates showing less that 8000 animals left in the wild. Their disappearance would be a terrible thing. #Cheetah
The 530 K mobilised 100 hp from ist 6-cylindre motor with 6,240 ccm and was the fastest production car oft that time with 110 km/h. The "K" in the cars name stands for "short", not "superchargred". Seen in the "Nationales Automuseum", Dietzhoelztal, Germany. For further informatiion check the website www.nationalesautomuseum.de/en
From the corner of a temple, a dog observes the daily life of humans in an alley of Varanasi, India.
The peregrine falcon - the fastest hunter and a real beauty. This guy is member of the falconry at the bird park Walsrode, Lower Saxony, and made a short extra turn to catch a little animal. After meal, he returned to his falconer. What a bird!
Maker Faire today at Centre for Life, Newcastle. RuBot II - The Fastest Robotic Guinness World Record For Solving Rubik's Cube!
The robot holds the cube up to his eyes and then he rotates it. It appears that he's doing color recognition of each face and then it robotically solves the puzzle (no need to look anymore). So step 1, pick up the cube, step 2 get the status of the cube faces, step 3 figure a plan of action, step 4 rotate the cube back to normal, step 5 set it down and say thanks.
This is the fastest turnaround I've had on a single photo in quite a while. I left home early this morning to capture this at Lost Lake. Recent winds mean there were a lot of trees down in that area, which made the drive up (and even the walk in) take a little longer than normal.
Pictured are the planets Jupiter, Mars, and Venus (from top to bottom, over Mt Hood). The star just below Venus (the brightest object in this photo) is Spica.
