Description
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is the world's fastest land mammal. With acceleration that would leave most automobiles in the dust, a cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles (96 kilometers) in three short seconds. These big cats are quite nimble at high speed and can make quick and sudden turns in pursuit of prey.
Endangered wild cheetahs are found in eastern and southwestern Africa. Perhaps only 7,000 to 10,000 of these big cats remain, and those are under pressure as the wide-open grasslands they favor are disappearing at the hands of human settlers.
