Schleich Cheetah, Female

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world. With their slim bodies and powerful long legs they can accelerate up to 120 km/h within a few seconds.  Cheetahs are excellent hunters. First of all they approach their prey very carefully until they are within a few metres then when the time is right they run at lightning speed. If the fleeing prey suddenly changes direction the Cheetah can simply turn its body mid-leap. Its flexible spine makes this possible. However if they have no success after a few hundred metres they have to give up. The high speed is so energy-sapping they can only keep it up for a short distance.  Cheetahs are perfectly adapted to the savannah. They only need to drink water every three to four days.
