The cheetah is the fastest land mammal in the world. The cheetah, can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m. It has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.

In terms of miles per hour, they can reach around 70 to 75 mph.

However, they can sustain the speed for only short durations, typically around a minute. If they continue to run at top speed for over that time, they will die of exhaustion.

Why does a cheetah have such a long body?

Cheetahs have long bodies because it helps with speed. When a cheetah runs, it arches its back and puts the hind paws down in front of the forepaws. Then when it pushes off and goes into full stretch, it gets a very long stride. There is a limit to how fast muscles can move, so to get to the speed at which cheetahs run, it has to have a really long stride.
