Recently a Cheetah was brought to my college for Big Cat Awareness Night. It was so awesome, I was 15 feet away from one!
The trainer said that these things can run the length of two football fields in an incredible amount of time. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing animals, the fastest land mammal on the planet. It's just sad that they can't compete with lions or jaguars. They have to run away from them in most conflicts. How pussy is that!
And to the guy who said he could punch a cheetah. No. While they are pussy IN COMPARISON to Lions/Tigers/Blacks, they would still murk the shit out of you. You'd need a gun, or a flaming bat dipped in kerosene.
