Cheetahs are remarkable creatures known for their incredible speed and grace. They can reach speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h) in short bursts covering distances up to 1,500 feet, and they can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just a few seconds!
Unlike other large predators, cheetahs hunt primarily during the day, using their keen eyesight and stealthy tactics to approach their prey before launching into a high-speed chase. When on a safari, witnessing a cheetah in action is an unforgettable experience.
Besides their speed, cheetahs have unique characteristics that set them apart. Their distinctive black "tear stripes" run from the corner of their eyes to their mouth, believed to help reflect the sun's glare while tracking prey under the blazing sun.
