Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on Earth.
They can reach speeds of up to 75 miles per hour.
They can only maintain this speed for a short period of time.
They need to use stealth and surprise to catch their prey.
They will often stalk their prey for hours before they make their move.
Once they are close enough, they will use their speed to chase down their prey and bring it down.
Cheetahs are an important part of the African ecosystem.
They help to keep populations of prey animals in check.
There are only an estimated 7,100 cheetahs left in the wild.
