How are Cheetahs so Fast

What is a cheetah
A cheetah is the fastest animal in the world. It can reach speeds of 120 kph. The cheetah has a slender, long-legged body that is made for speed. Cheetahs are a tan colour with black coloured spots all over them.

The cheetah’s features
The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck a flexible spine, nonretractable claws,  special pads on its feet for traction and a long tail for balance. Cheetahs have a bite force of 215 kgs and with such sharp teeth, they could almost pierce through anything.

Where can the cheetah be found?
Cheetahs are mostly found,  mostly, all around Africa, but there is a small population of Cheetahs in Iran. Cheetahs are found in habitats with mostly open areas of land like the African grasslands and the savanna.

Why is the cheetah so fast?
The cheetah is so fast because it has Wide nostrils to get more air to breath, large lungs, a powerful heart, and large arteries allow more oxygen to get to the cheetah's muscles. Huge leg muscles that expand faster to produce faster speeds. The cheetah’s body structure allows it to reach such fast speeds but they can only run fast for about 30 seconds. That’s not long before they get tired out. Running so quickly tires cheetahs out.

Conclusion
How a cheetah’s speed helps them in everyday life. Cheetahs have a large hunting advantage over all big cats mainly because of their speed. Whatever they spot while hunting and want they can get because their much faster than all animals.
