Cheetah showing teeth, Serengeti North
This one was far away, so it's a significant crop. As scary as those fans look, cheetahs are relatively weak cats, it's the price they pay for speed. They have a higher risk than most cats to get hurt themselves during a kill.
The cheetah is a large-sized feline inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East.The cheetah achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal—between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.
