The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. Its slender body and long, powerful legs make it built for speed, and it can run at up to 70 miles per hour (112 kph) over short distances.
The cheetah has amazing eyesight which means it can spot its prey from huge distances, before sneaking up on its victim and pouncing.
Philippa Wilson's book about cheetahs brings you lots of interesting facts about cheetahs and how these magnificent and animals survive in the open, grassy plains of Africa.
