The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a member of the cat family (Felidae), a poor climber that hunts by speed and stealth. As such, it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. It is the fastest of all land animals and can reach speeds between 112 km/h (70 mph) and 120 km/h (75 mph)[3] in short bursts up to 460 m (500 yards), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h (68 mph) in three seconds, faster than most super cars.
