cheetahs
Savanna's fastest cats
Cheetahs is the plural of cheetah, the fastest land animal—a large spotted cat native to Africa and parts of Asia, capable of bursts exceeding 70 miles per hour.
Unlike other big cats, cheetahs cannot roar and rely on speed rather than strength to hunt prey.
Cheetahs sprinted across the savanna in pursuit of gazelles.
