Amazing Cheetah Facts

4809 Kyle Chen 陳昱愷

One of the things that I often think about is

all the different animals on Earth. There are 8.7

million species of animal on our planet. Animals

can be very big like the African elephant and

blue whale or tiny like a mouse or humming

bird. The animal that fascinates me the most is

the cheetah because it is the fastest land animal.

It sib le to run at 102 kilometers an hour and go

from 0-60 miles an hour in just three seconds.

This is the same as a normal road car. Cheetahs

are native to the grasslands of Southern and

Eastern Africa. If you are lucky, you can see them

hunting and using their speed to catch their

prey. I would like to share some interesting

things about cheetahs with you.
