The cheetah, the fastest land animal on Earth, can sprint at 70 to 75 mph for up to 1,600 feet and can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in three seconds. Unfortunately, the cheetah is also fast disappearing from the Earth. Fewer than 10,000 adults are estimated to be left in the wild today, according to Panthera, a wild-cat conservation organization.
