Cheetah

The cheetah is the smallest of the big three cats, weighing only 100 to 140 pounds. Their bodies are sleek with long legs, designed for speed. Cheetahs are the fastest animal in the world, recording speeds of over 70 miles an hour. This speed comes only in bursts saved for the hunt, and expends a great deal of the animal's energy. Once captured, the cheetah uses its claw to bring down its prey. Cheetahs can be found in Aboseli, Maasai Mara, Nairobi National Park, and Samburu.
