Cheetah Fun Fact: A fun fact about the cheetah is that it’s the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds of up to 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts! What’s even more impressive is that cheetahs can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just a few seconds, faster than most sports cars. Their lightweight bodies, long legs, and specially adapted spine allow them to stretch out fully while sprinting, making them built for incredible speed.
