Cheetah: death at a sprint
S1 • E6 Jul 1, 2008
Cheetahs are built for speed and can usually finish off a kill within 300 meters. With their lightweight bodies, lightning-fast reflexes and killer instincts their chosen victim doesn't stand a chance as the cheetah reaches speeds of up to 100 km per an hour. Once a kill has been made the cheetah must eat fast or they may be pushed off their meal by an opportunistic thieving predator. Every daily hunt is a true race for survival for this streamlined spotted cat.
