  • Where is this? Thanks for posting btw!

  • San Diego Wild Animal Park, Escondido, CA

    Glad you enjoyed it!

  • What was that thing its chasing?

  • It's a lure -- it's actually one of the cheetah's favorite toys, zipped along the ground by a high-speed winch. At the end of the run, the lure disappears into a box, and the trainer blows a whistle, and drops a pan of the cheetah's favorite treat... that's how they get the cheetah to stop. :)

  • hey FBODNy, have you seen the movie Duma? that is the most amazing cheetah run that ive seen! you should watch it...cheetahs for me have always been very inspiring

  • your welcome! There is nothing more beautiful than a cheetah running!

  • Give or take a few seconds. The speeds cheetah can run vary, much like humans, with some being below the standard, and some wild cheetah may even reach as high as eighty miles an hour.

  • Now, having completed a quarter to one-third of the course, most likely the third since it wants to catch the toy. It'd be going around seventy miles an hour, depending on the cheetah, it would be moving roughly 103 feet per second. That's another section of the track. So, after three seconds the cheetah would be two-thirds complete. Now, another second, making the total four, the cheetah should be at the end, give a few tenths of a second.

  • Oops, not twenty-five yards but rather twenty-three yards.

  • So, the cheetah at the stand still, and once the winch starts. It'd start at a quick speed, making the cheetah push its acceleration. So, say, two seconds. Within those two seconds, it should have already gone around (twenty-three feet per stride with 3-4 strides a second) would be around seventy to a hundred feet, which is twenty-five yards to thirty-three yards.

  • I noticed that isn't quite as fast as the cheetah can sprint. I've studied a lot about them, and I'm thinking of becoming a cheetah zoologist. However, I have noticed that six seconds for a hundred yards may seem quick, but for a cheetah, that is relatively slow. They can do it in a little under six seconds, since they travel a hundred feet per second. And it takes them two and a half seconds to accelerate to top speed.

  • thats wasnt fast enough
