The cheetah is unique in its speed and lacks climbing skills. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph). In short distances of 460 m (1,510 ft) the cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 103 km/h (64 mph) in three seconds, faster than most supercars. You would not want to race with these cats because you will definately lose!
