The Cheetah

most people are already aware that the cheetah is the fastest land animal.  it can reach a top speed between 70 and 75 mph, but is unable to maintain that spped for very long, and is able cover about 460 meters in that short time.  the cheetah does however have an excellent acceleration time being able to transition from a staionary position to running at a spped of about 64mph in 3 seconds.
