The cheetah is the world's fastest runner. It is capable of sprinting at 100 km's per hour over short distances. This is possible because of the cheetah's flexible skeleton and high shoulders which swivel easily and therefore enable it to gain long strides.

Female cheetah's are solitary except for their accompanying young. Of course they tolerate males, but only for a day or two and quite often young males leave the group and form their own pack.
