The majestic CHEETAH. Build for speed, with its long, slender body, it is the fastest land animal in the world. Reaching speeds in excess of 100km/h when sprinting after prey, with some claims of up to 120km/h. While other big cats like lions and leopard can retract their claws, the cheetah's claws are non-retractable and they can "purrrrr" like your normal cat at home. Females live a solitary life, unless she has her cubs with her, while the males form coalitions of two or more.
The Cheetah is identified to be the fastest land animal with speed but however lack some climbing abilities
Tip: Easy way to distinguish cheetahs from leopards are the "tearmarks" running from the inside corner of the eye to the mouth.
