We’ve decided that this week is cat week! We’ll be sharing
all of the big cats that are included in our game this week so stay tuned for a
selection of catty goodness! Today and tomorrow as promised we have two a day;
our first is the Cheetah, the world’s fastest land mammal!
Location: Africa
Diet: Carnivore
Lifespan: 10 to 12 years in the wild
Interesting fact: When the cheetah hunts, it will sprint after its prey at great speed to attempt to knock it down. While this uses a massive amount of energy, these chases are over in less than a minute.

Here is some lovely footage here recording a cheetah hunting
its prey. We love the way they have slowed down the footage, really shows you
just how powerful and fast the cheetah can be!
