How Fast Is Cheetah?

Fastest land animal alive. Accelerates 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds — faster than most supercars. But only sustains top speed for 30 seconds before overheating, and their tail acts as a rudder for 40° mid-stride turns.

Cheetahs cannot roar — they purr instead, like a domestic cat. They are the only big cat that can't roar, due to a different vocal-cord structure.
