Here are a short essay about land mammal that runs really quickly.
A cheetah’s slender body is built for speed. Accelerating from zero to 45 in past 2.5 seconds, it is the fastest land mammal and can reach top speeds of 60 to 70 mph
(69 to 112 kilometers per hour)
Cheetahs in habit the African savanna but are vulerable to extinction due to loss of habitat and limited genetic diversity.

Here are some fun facts about cheetah
- Thecheetah is the single surviving species of the genus acinonyx
- Acheetah’sfootprints have claw tips visible, more like a dog than a typical cat’s print

- Cheetahshavevery low levels of genetic variations compared to other mammals, making them suspectible to desiase.
This genetic similarity may have developed due to of a serve population reduction, or bottleneck, that occurated about 10.000 years ago.
- A babycheetah is called a cub
- Cheetahscansee about 3 miles
