YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

this was my fist time bringing a video camera as i was taking still photos and just at times turning the video camera on. It jumps as when the jeep moves it gets too bumpy. So what you see here are short clips of the more steady footage.

Thanks for watching.

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. As such, it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph)[3] in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m (1,500 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h (68 mph) in three seconds, greater than most supercars.[4]

This comment has received too many negative votes show

you know each time a cheetah goes for that speed its a risk of its life... if it don't get the kill the cheetah will most likely die because it use up a lot of energy in that sprint.

theone709394 3 years ago

no not intierly true yes it has used up most off itz energy but it doesnt usualy die because of it it usualy dies a natural deat, poached death, or death by a nother big cat.

Theone, you really think that any animal on earth is capable of actually using all their energy up in one go? the body, of any animal, is built to survive, it stores fat to be used for energy when there is none available from food sources, even then it's a very slow process.

thats was what my science teacher told me he was a biologist be for becoming a teacher but if it was wrong i would love to learn more about it o.o -time to do some more research- xD

theone709394 3 years ago

wel 1. of all the cheetah Dosent catch its prey always. It does only about 50% of the times. Theats the highest sucsess ratio of all the cats in africa

In general cats cannot use excess carbohydrates or fats in place of protein to supply their calories and energy needs and they cannot store excess protein so they must eat what they need, often daily. In the case of the cheetah Theone is correct but for different reasons. The cheetah risk death very often due to body temperature and thus overheating. If they kept running they'd overheat and die, beyond 400 or 500 yards is critical. Takes them about 30 minutes to completely settle down afterwards

Yes they are

not 60 kph... 120kph is max speed of cheetah!

Heci53CRO 3 years ago 2

what is that in MPH?

Meter per hour

kenyan is faster

margendoodle 3 years ago

Cheetah speed could go up to 60 Kilometer Per Hour, that's 37 something Miles per Hour .Pretty fast huh..

mushroomcloud316 3 years ago

You are wrong friend, Cheetah could go almost 70 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds.

cessarsal 3 years ago 4

they can go up to 120 km per hour, to be factual

There kill ratio is 50% for the people who dont believe it. Nothing really out runs them when they chase it and the farthest they run from is about 90 feet a cheetah does 30 feet in 1/4 a second "1 quarter second" so it takes 3/4 of 1 second to get there. They can hold top speed for upto 90 seconds if needed. They let there food get taken also because it takes all of 90 seconds to get more and the cooldown is only 1hr. They eat like kings compared to most animals of the african wild.

What is the point of running these frightened animals around in the street? Wouldn't they rather be left to graze is a green field?

Does anyone have any footage of a Gazelle or Impala escaping a cheetah? All I can find on Youtube are kills made. I want to see the Gazelle or Impala escape, because I know that occurs more often than not, seeing as the cheetah only makes 50% of it's kill attempts.

Foxlocke 4 years ago

obviously it happens as much as it doesnt if its 50%

aznxo7 4 years ago 2

That's true. However, the majority of the Cheetah's diet is not solely Tommy Gazelles. Tommies, I estimate, escape more often than not because they have more stamina and can maneuver better than a cheetah. So, I would say--in regards to Tommies--the Cheetah's success rate is probably only 30%. They mostly go after the young ones because the adults are strong and fleet.

Foxlocke 4 years ago

50% is a bit high. i think it's more along the 10-20% success rate

poppinbot 4 years ago

10-20 would be more like a lion! Cheetahs have obout 40%! Cheetahs have the highest sucsess rate of all cats...

mkopbcgfd 3 years ago 2

yes

@Foxlocke

ONLY 50%? I guess you don't realize what a feat that is...

mrcardio9r 1 year ago

I missed it, where was the part where it killed the impala? I mean one second the Cheetah was looking at the Impala, and the next frame it was eating the Impala. Now I know the Cheetah is fast, but not THAT fast.
