The cheetah is the fastest land animal But it can maintain the speed only for a short duration .. It is it's ability for hunting slower prey. It cannot run for miles at 70 mph !

I think it's widely known as thr Cheetah being the fastest in short distances. Though it could be a case of the rabit and the hare for longer distances!

Thanks for the response. When you say Cheetah, if you could write one or two sentences about cheetah, it would have been interesting.
