-It is the fastest of all terrestrial animals and can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in short bursts.they'd beat the fastest dogs\n\n-Black "tear marks," which run from the corner of its eyes down the sides of the nose to its mouth\nThe fur of the cheetah is yellow with round black spots, which help to camouflage it, and distinctive black tear lines on the sides of the muzzle. The cheetah’s coat is tan, or buff colored, with black spots measuring from ¾ to 1¼ inches across (2–3 cm). There are no spots on its white belly, and the tail has spots which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah's tail usually ends in a bushy white tuft. Cheetahs also have a rare fur pattern mutation: cheetahs with larger, blotchy, merged spots are known as 'King Cheetahs'.\n\n-Unlike true big cats, cheetahs can purr as they inhale, but cannot roar. By contrast, lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars can roar but cannot purr, except while exhaling\n\n-Cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.Cheetahs were formerly, and are sometimes still hunted because many farmers believe that they eat livestock\n\n-Cheetahs are carnivores, eating mostly mammals under 40 kg (90 lb), including Thomson's gazelles, and impala. Wildebeest and calves are hunted when cheetahs hunt together. Guinea fowl and hares are also hunted. While the other big cats mainly hunt by night, the cheetah is a diurnal hunter. It hunts usually either early in the morning or later in the night when it is not so hot, but there is still enough light - cheetahs hunt by vision rather than by scent. Prey is stalked to within ten to thirty meters (30-100 ft), then chased. Using their tails to maintain balance, cheetahs can make sharp turns if needed. The chase is usually over in less than a minute and if the cheetah fails to make a quick catch, it will often give up rather than waste energy. Another reason a cheetah may give up is because running at such high speeds puts a great deal of strain on the cheetah's body. The temperature within the cheetah reaches such high temperatures that it would be deadly to continue - this is why cheetahs are often seen resting even after they have caught their prey. Roughly half of their chases are successful. The cheetah kills its prey by tripping it during the chase, then biting it on the underside of the throat to suffocate it, for the cheetah is not strong enough to break the necks of the gazelles it mainly hunts. Then the cheetah proceeds to devour its catch as quickly as possible, for it is unable to defend itself against lions and hyenas.

Cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.\n\nCheetahs are included on the IUCN list: vulnerable species (African subspecies threatened, Asiatic subspecies in critical situation) as well as on the US ESA: threatened species - Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Approximately 12,400 cheetahs remain in the wild in 25 African countries; Namibia has the most, with about 2,500. Another 100-200 are thought to remain in Iran. There have been successful breeding programs, including the use of in-vitro fertilization, in zoos around the world.

Definitely crossing the Bering land bridge was the only possible way for them to move to another place; there was no any technology that time to make it there by any way.\n\nAnyway have these information which may help to answer your wondering: \n\n>>The cheetah is considered the most primitive of all cats, and until recently was thought to have evolved approximately 18 million years ago, although new research puts the last common ancestor of all 37 existing species of feline more recently, at 11 million years.\n>>The cheetahs probably evolved in Africa during the Miocene epoch (26 million to 7.5 million years ago), before migrating to Asia.\n>>The extinct genus Miracinonyx was extremely cheetah-like, but recent DNA analysis has shown that Miracinonyx inexpectatus, Miracinonyx studeri, and Miracinonyx trumani (early to late Pleistocene epoch), found in North America and called the "North American Cheetah" are not true cheetahs, instead being close relatives to the puma.\n>>The Puma is an inhabitant of Americas found in "equator" and "poles". As the  "North American Cheetah" are close relatives to the puma, that would give an explanation how they survive in  Ice Age Beringia.\n\nHope it made some sense.♥

Dear naive one:\n\nIn my opinion, you should revise your question if you want one to answer it. The correct revision of your question would be "What is the fastest running animal?". Have you ever heard of grammar classes? If you are asking me what the fastest animal on earth is, I assume it is the cheetah( unless there is an faster animal that man has not yet discovered). Cheetah comes from the Hindi word meaning "spotted one" and/or from the Sanskrit word, "chitraka".\nBeing one the fastest known terrestrial(terra=earth)animals, the cheetah can travel about 60 miles per hour. If you do not remember what your pedants taught you at school, I highly suggest that you take a vitamin supplement called "Mega Memory". To my knowledge, it does not hurt to try new things. I have completed my job of educating you. It is interesting to note that to my knowledge most seven-year-olds know that the cheetah is the fastest land animal.\nGood bye.\nSincerely, \nClark

Cheetahs are built for speed , they are long legged and slender with a grey-hound like profile to their body. They have black 'tear-marks' leading from the corner of the eyes to the mouth. The spots are solid.\nLeopards are stocky in comparrison with a massive head (Particularly males), they are ambush hunters and are extremely powerfull in their build. Their spots form 'rossettes; rather than being just black spots. \nPuma just looks totally different!

Cheetahs are roughly the size of a very large dog (excluding Great Danes, not quite THAT big), but with much sharper claws and teeth. So if you annoy one, by threatening its cubs for example, consider yourself supper.\nBut they generally avoid people if they can.

If you mean where can you find info about them I would think any animal encyclopedia would be helpful.  There are horned toads (really lizards), other lizards, various snakes, desert rodents, scorpions and spiders, mountain lions, road runners, eagles and hawks and of course other birds.

Crocodiles or Alligators are the obvious answers... don't forget the Komodo Dragon either, they're a bit on the old side too!

Cheetahs are pretty awesome, though I also like black panthers and tigers, just because they're pretty. ^_^

Danged interesting.  I will look into this.  I have said myself that the future belongs to the best breeders of any species.  Why are the pandas and white tigers endangered and the racoon and rat thriving? Adaptability and reproduction.  It's like WHO do you think are going to inherit the earth? The little WASP couple in the gated community with one or two perfect little lily white children or the Mexican couple with eight kids who will live anywhere and do anything to survive?  Whose kids are going to be the most capable of adapting and thriving? The robust little peasants or the little hot house plants?

Basically predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs reach their top speed faster than the hooved animal prey does. Certain prey animals have faster top speeds than their predators but they can not get up to top speed fast enough to outrun them. The predator must get within a certain distance of its prey undetected so the predator has very little ground to make up in the chase.

Not clear at all.  Search the link for "pantherines".

Gazelle???\nThats cruelty to animals!!lol

No i heard that Raven stop being a cheetah a while back so that she could start a solo career! But the other cheetahs are still together!
