I Wonder?

I wonder how Cheetahs are the fastest land animals?

Cheetahs are the fastest land animal. They are capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. Standing at about 30 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 110 and 140 pounds, they have long, graceful legs, a small, rounded head on a long neck, a very flexible spine, a deep chest, special pads on their feet that help with traction, and a long tail that is used for balance at top speed. The cheetah is also the only cat that cannot retract its claws, providing more traction. They also have distinctive black “tear tracks” that run from the corner of each eye to their mouth and provide anti-glare protection for daytime hunting. Cheetahs prefer to hunt during the day, unlike other cats.
