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 sunlight was warm and bright on a September morning at the Denver Zoo, Colorado. The Cheetah could barely stay awake, but for a moment she regally sat up to survey her environment before returning to her nap.
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.

There once was a cheetah
named Hinters
who above all other seasons
loved winters.
They made it easier to freeze
when seeing humans on skiis
And spared her poor paws
from splinters.

I saw two cheetah families on my Kenya trip, one with three cubs and one with four. This female climbed onto a dirt mound for better vision of the surrounding area.
Mating Season: Throughout the year.
Gestation: Around 3 months.
Litter size: 2-4 cubs
Cubs are smoky in color with long, woolly hair – called a mantle – running down their backs. This mantle is thought to camouflage cubs in grass, concealing them from predators. Mothers move cubs to new hiding places every few days. At 5 - 6 weeks, cubs follow the mother and begin eating from their kills.
