What is the speed of cheetah?

The speed of cheetah is about 90 kilometers per hour.

According to British media reports, for decades, it has been thought that cheetahs can run at a maximum speed of120km per hour, and were once considered as the fastest animals on land. Recently, some animal researchers pointed out that the actual running speed of cheetahs can only reach 90 kilometers per hour.

According to the report, researchers from the Royal Veterinary College said that they installed GPS on 367 cheetahs. After repeated tests, the calculated average top speed is 90 kilometers per hour. This is much slower than previously thought 120 km per hour, but the researchers pointed out that cheetahs are still the fastest animals known to run on land.

Running speed of other animals:

1, African wild dog: 44 miles per hour

Generally speaking, dogs are good runners, but African wild dogs are faster than any other dogs, because African wild dogs are cooperative hunting animals and live in close groups. Each group has a pair of reproductive leader dogs, who mark their territory with urine. When they chase prey, the top speed can reach 44 miles per hour.

Rough fur is a unique symbol of African wild dogs. They are famous for their speed, and their outdoor endurance is also their specialty. So African wild dogs have become one of the fastest animals in the world.

2. Greyhound: 45 miles per hour

Greyhound is extremely thin and tall, and its amazing speed makes it different from other domestic dogs. The slim body is light and agile in running. They have small heads and long and powerful limbs. Dogs are one of the oldest creatures on earth. They have existed for nearly ten thousand years.

Gray dogs originated in the Middle East and gradually spread to Europe, North America and Australia. In the past, Golay dogs were mainly used for hunting, which gradually inspired their outstanding running ability and became one of the fastest animals in the world. Usually their prey are rabbits and foxes. Rabbits run fast.

3. Hare: 50 miles per hour.

As we all know, rabbits are extremely fast and have been considered as one of the fastest animals in the world. Although rabbits do belong to the same family and are similar in appearance, rabbits are bigger than rabbits and have many differences in appearance. Only with longer ears and thicker legs can they fly fastest, with a speed of 50 miles per hour and a bounce 10 foot.

Rabbits are very sensitive. Rabbits run very fast to avoid their natural enemies, such as hyenas, raptors and humans. In Europe and North America, people catch rabbits to cook all kinds of delicious food. Some people catch rabbits to reduce the pests they bring. Hares' big ears are specially used for long-distance monitoring, and they can detect the breath of predators, including humans. As one of the fastest animals in the world, they are hard to catch.
