No. The cheetah is the fastest land mammal.

The cheetah can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km per hour. The largest of the kangaroos, the Red kangaroo, has been clocked at up to 64 kph.

However, the kangaroo can maintain its top speed for longer.

Kangaroos are not faster than horses over short distances. However, they are able to maintain a high speed over a much longer distance than a horse can.< BR>

Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. Their strong back legs and elongated hind feet enable them to bound. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs.
