The Cheetah .
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, reaching speeds of up to 113km/h. They can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3 seconds. When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat. Cheetahs are the only big cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting.

The Cheetah's slender, long-legged body is built for speed. They are the fastest land animal in the world. Cheetahs can be distinguished from other big cats by their smaller size, spotted coats, small heads and ears and distinctive "tear stripes" that stretch from the corner of the eye to the side of the nose.

Busch Gardens Tampa Florida
This handsome fellow was relaxing with his family in the sunshine on Thanksgiving day. I love visiting Busch Gardens during the holiday season. They are not usually very crowded on Thanksgiving so there are shorter lines for rides and the temperatures are usually cooler (upper 70's) so the animals are more active. Christmas town opens this weekend so BG will stay open a little later in the evening and the park will be decorated with gorgeous holiday decorations.
This is the nearly adult cub, after filling its belly. Mother allowed it to eat first while she caught her breath after the chase.
Cheetahs like other cats,kills their prey by strangulation.They hunt mainly medioum sized antelopes,partculary Thomson's gazelles and impalas.This one is a male and friendly.
PLEASE VIEW LARGE.
