Cheetah – Acinonyx jubatus
Cheetahs are built for speed and not strength.
Because of their long slim bodies, cheetahs can run to 70 miles per
hour reaching strides of twenty-four feet. Although quick, cheetahs
are not very strong, and are often preyed upon by other animals, such
as lions, hyenas, and baboons.
Interesting Fact: Cheetahs
are the only cats without retractable claws.
