Cheetahs are renowned for their speed, capable of reaching impressive velocities between 65 to 75 mph (104 to 120 km/h) during short bursts, with some remarkable individuals recorded at maximum speeds of 71 mph (114 km/h)[1][2]. Their average running speed while chasing prey is around 40 mph (64 km/h)[1].
These adaptations allow cheetahs to accelerate rapidly; they can go from zero to 60 mph in just three seconds and achieve speeds of 47 mph (75 km/h) in only two seconds[1][3]. However, they can only maintain such high speeds for limited distances, typically around 600 yards (550 meters) before fatigue sets in[4].
