Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 120 km/h in short bursts.
A cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just three seconds.
Unlike other big cats, cheetahs cannot roar, but they make chirping, purring, and growling sounds.
Cheetahs rely on sight rather than smell for hunting and are most active during the day.
Cheetah populations are in decline, with only around 7,000 left in the wild.
The cheetah's slender body and long tail help it maintain balance during high-speed chases.
