Sarah The Cheetah Becomes The Official Fastest Animal On Land

CINCINNATI, USA: Covering 100 metres in 6.13 seconds, Sarah the cheetah set a new speed record for all land mammals on the 9th September 2008 in Cincinnati, America. Running on a specially designed 100-metre course at Cincinnati Zoo's Regional Cheetah Breeding Facility at Mast Farm, Sarah eclipsed the previous record time of 6.19 seconds. Sarah, who is now officially the world's fastest land animal, was so quick that she actually caught up with the lure that was encouraging her to hit such high speeds.

@k1ll1ng5pr33

You're retarded. The test was for acceleration.

You'd think that it could keep on speeding up after the 100 metres.

@coronamoto You should leave the math to those that understand it.

@StephHuegi the cheetah should just Kick your ass!!

@LobiiSensimillia A 3 second difference is HUGE in a 100 meter run.

@coronamoto I'm with you. Where is the 70 mph speed?

@Aaroncione I amm legally retarded and I find this comment offensive. Even I know that the cheetah can[t keep speedign up.

@saucy05 sexist much?

[LobiiSensimillia]

wow i thought they'd be faster, usain bolt is almost as fast.. well like 3 sec diffrence

[saucy05]

No way in hell is a female the fastest land animal on earth. Bet there are countless male cheetahs who would run laps around her. WE DEMAND A RECOUNT.

@StephHuegi You're just one cruel person aren't ya?

@gilgammesh1 Having read a couple of facts on wikipedia, I think your best chance is to stand your ground, wrestle it to the ground and then strangle it. The cheetah only weighs 60kg and is 80cms tall, also it has a relatively weak jaw compared to other cats. If I had to fight it, I'd get on its back and start giving it a rear naked choke. Hopefully I'd get away with a few nasty scratches. I think due to its shoulderheight of 80cms getting on its back should be manageable.
