Cheetah

Cheetah reaches a maximum speed of 120 kilometers an hour and the smaller Utah raptor (there is an unidentified Utah raptor twice as big) reaches 125 kilometers an hour. so cheetah is not the fastest animal ever! ! ! ! !

The cheetah is the fastest ever land mammal in the world cause of its bendy leg it can reach speeds from 70 miles per hour to 100. wow!

Acinonyx jubatus; the cheetah.

The Cincinnati Zoo's cheetah ambassador just beat the 2001 land-speed world record for mammals. A male cheetah in South Africa covered 100 meters in 6.19 seconds. Sarah didn't beat that just once, but twice: She first clocked in at 6.16 seconds and then 6.13 seconds-which, by the way, bested Bolt's August sprint by more than 3 seconds. And that's from a girl who has been in captivity pretty much her whole life. Sarah's feat helped call attention to the species' endangered numbers. According to the zoo, the spotted felines' population has dropped from 100,000 back in 1900 to about one-tenth that number. Cincinnati has been doing its part to nurture more cubs than anywhere else. Not so coincidentally, the zoo was home to another record holder: Moya, who died this past January, held the title for a year before his brother Nyana (over in South Africa) snagged it. Now Sarah's got bragging rights.
The Cheetah is the fastest land mammal, which can run at speeds of 70mph over a short distance.

The cheetah is reputed to be the fastest land animal in the world, but can only keep up such high speed over a short distance. If the fleeing prey animal can keep in front by twisting and turning long enough, the cheetah will give up. The cheetah will then need to rest for a while, before being able to continue hunting.
