The running speed of 71 mph (114 km/h) of the cheetah was obtained as an result of a single run of one individual by dividing the distance traveled for time spent. The run lasted 2.25 seconds and was supposed to have been 73 m (240 ft) long, but was later found to have been 59 m (194 ft) long.
The highest speed reliably and rigorously measured in cheetahs in a straight line is 29 m/s (104 km/h), as an average of 3 runs over a 201.2-meter (220 yards) course (starting from start line already running). [61] [62] Top speed data is result of dividing distance by time spent. Pronghorn: 80–96 km/h (50–60 mph) [19] [27] [22]
Limitations of animal running speed provides an overview of how various factors determine the maximum running speed. Some terrestrial animals are built for achieving extremely high speeds, such as the cheetah, pronghorn, race horse and greyhound, while humans can train to achieve high sprint speeds. There is no single determinant of maximum ...
Even though the Cheetah is capable of reaching speeds up to 60 mph among other athletic feats – their inability to roar keeps them out the big cat league. Once found throughout Asia, Europe and ...
